Dialling code: 01634 (Medway)

Ham Green is a small residential locality on the edge of the Borough of Medway in north‑east Kent, sitting on gentle slopes above the surrounding agricultural fields and with easy sightlines towards the River Medway and the Hoo Peninsula. It feels quieter than the nearby urban centres, with a mix of older cottages and post‑war housing set among small pockets of green space, and benefits from straightforward road and bus links into Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.

Historically the area has been shaped by farming and its proximity to the river and naval industries; the fortunes of Chatham Dockyard and local trade left a lasting imprint on employment and housing patterns. Today Ham Green is largely residential with a community‑minded feel, modest local amenities and easy access to larger shopping, cultural and transport hubs in the wider Medway conurbation.
