Bridge is a ward in Dartford, Kent, covering part of the town centre around the River Darent. Its central location means a mix of high street shops, local services and residential streets, with good rail links into London and easy road access via the M25 and the nearby Dartford Crossing; the large shopping complex at Bluewater is also close by.
Historically the area grew up around riverside mills and industry, but today it has seen pockets of regeneration and hosts cultural venues such as the Orchard Theatre, regular markets and community facilities. The ward therefore combines a town-centre, service-led economy with a varied social mix and some locally valued conservation and redevelopment projects.
