More about living in Gillingham
What it's like to live in Gillingham
Day to day life is practical. There are pharmacies within walking distance, a Tesco Pharmacy among them, and Twydall Library and Community Hub doubles as a meeting point. Rainham Shopping Centre and Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre cover bigger trips.
Medway as a whole has slightly more children than the England average, with 20.3% of residents under 16, and that shows in the number of school runs, playing fields and after-school clubs. It is a sociable, mixed area, and newcomers tend to settle in through schools, the park and the local church and community halls rather than a single high street.
