Singlewell is a ward in the borough of Gravesham in Kent, sitting on the western edge of Gravesend beside the A2. It is largely residential, with a mix of housing and small pockets of green space, and benefits from good road and rail links for commuters heading into London.
Its name recalls an old well on the historic London road and the area still shows a semi‑rural character in places while being shaped by nearby industry and riverside development along the Thames corridor. Local life is centred on small shops, community groups and the amenities of neighbouring towns, giving residents village‑scale ties alongside straightforward access to urban employment and services.
