LOCATION
Prime Town Centre Location with Excellent Connectivity
The Hill Hub occupies a prominent position on Highfield Road in the heart of Dartford, just 0.3 miles from the town centre and a short walk from Dartford Station, which offers direct rail links to London Bridge, Cannon Street, and Charing Cross. The property benefits from excellent road access via the A2 and M25, placing Central London, Kent, and Essex within easy reach.
This Grade II Listed former police station has been thoughtfully redeveloped into a vibrant business hub, surrounded by a mix of commercial occupiers, civic buildings, and retail amenities. The nearby Priory Shopping Centre and Bluewater-one of Europe's largest retail destinations-offer a wealth of shops, restaurants, and services.
The area is undergoing significant regeneration, with over £75 million invested into Dartford's town centre, including new residential, leisure, and public realm developments. This strategic location supports strong tenant demand and long-term growth potential.
