Sole Street is a small village in the borough of Gravesham, in Kent, England, sitting in a largely rural landscape of farmland and country lanes. The settlement is a modest ribbon of houses, cottages and converted farm buildings that retains a quietly historic feel while being surrounded by rolling Kentish countryside.
Despite its rural character, Sole Street has practical commuter links thanks to a local railway station and road connections, so the community is a mix of longtime agricultural families and people who travel into larger towns for work. Local life tends to focus on village-scale activities and the neighbouring parishes for shops and services, giving it a peaceful, close‑knit character rather than any bustle of a larger town.
