Temple Hill is a largely residential ward sitting on higher ground above Dartford town centre in Kent, England. The area is characterised by a mix of post‑war and later housing estates, pockets of green space and local parades of shops, giving it a suburban feel while remaining close to the bustle of the town.
Locally the name is often said to allude to historic ties with the Knights Templar, and today the ward functions mainly as a commuter neighbourhood with good road and rail links to London via Dartford railway station, the M25 and the A2; nearby retail and employment hubs such as Bluewater and the Ebbsfleet area further boost local job options. Community centres, schools and small businesses reflect a mixed‑income population and an active local civic life.
