Frequently Asked Questions

Canterbury is around 60 miles from London and benefits from excellent transport links, making it a popular choice for commuters and those relocating from the capital. High-speed train services from Canterbury West to London St Pancras can take less than an hour, while regular services also run to London Victoria and London Charing Cross. Canterbury East and Canterbury West stations both provide convenient rail connections and the city is easily accessible by road via the M2 and A2.

Canterbury is a well-known university city and is home to the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and the University for the Creative Arts (UCA). The strong student presence also contributes to a thriving rental market, with a wide range of student accommodation available, from purpose-built apartments and shared student houses to private rentals close to the universities. For landlords and investors, Canterbury continues to be a popular location thanks to consistent student demand, while students benefit from a lively city environment, excellent transport links and everything they need within easy reach.

Canterbury is generally considered one of the more expensive places to live in Kent and is relatively expensive compared to the UK national average. Its combination of historic character, excellent schools, two universities, strong transport links and thriving city-centre lifestyle continues to drive demand. While property prices are typically higher than many surrounding towns, many buyers see Canterbury as offering excellent long-term value due to its desirability and strong local economy.

The best area depends on your lifestyle and priorities, but some of Canterbury's most sought-after locations include St Dunstan's, The King's Mile, South Canterbury, Harbledown, Blean, Rough Common and Bridge. Families are often drawn to South Canterbury for its schools, while professionals and commuters favour St Dunstan's due to its proximity to Canterbury West station. The surrounding villages, including Aylesham, remain popular with those looking for more space and a village lifestyle, while still enjoying easy access to Canterbury's city centre, excellent amenities and strong transport links.

Both stations offer excellent connections, but they serve different purposes. Canterbury West is preferred by commuters due to its high-speed service to London St Pancras, with journeys taking under an hour. Canterbury East provides direct services to London Victoria and connections across East Kent. For those travelling regularly to London, Canterbury West is generally considered the more convenient option, while Canterbury East remains best for access to the city centre and wider train services across Kent.
