Stone is an urban village on the edge of Dartford in north‑west Kent, England. It sits by the River Darent and former marshland, with a mix of Victorian and post‑war housing and small green corridors; the A226 and the North Kent line, served at Stone Crossing, give straightforward rail and road links into London and across the north Kent coast.
Historically the settlement grew alongside nearby market towns and local brickfields, and today village life is centred on local shops, pubs and community groups while many residents commute for work to Dartford or London. There is a strong local interest in preserving open space and heritage features, so development tends to be a frequent topic at parish and community meetings.
