East Folkestone is the eastern ward of the town of Folkestone in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent, England. It mainly comprises residential streets east of the town centre, with a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing, local shops and community facilities, and sits close to the harbour and the Channel coast.
The ward shares in Folkestone's Victorian seaside heritage and the recent regeneration around the harbour and Creative Quarter, while also having pockets of socio‑economic challenge that local groups and council initiatives aim to address. Good road and rail links and proximity to the Channel crossings give the area practical connections for commuting and coastal trade.
