Vigo Village is a small residential settlement in the borough of Gravesham, in Kent, England, sitting on the edge of the more built-up area around Gravesend. It grew largely in the 20th century as a commuter-friendly community with straightforward road links and nearby rail stations offering easy access into London, while still being close to the rolling countryside of the North Downs.
Today it is chiefly a quiet residential area with local shops and community groups rather than heavy industry; its name is generally thought to reference the 18th-century Vigo Bay connection that crops up elsewhere in Britain. The mix of suburban convenience and nearby green spaces makes it popular with people looking for a village feel within reach of larger urban centres.
