A Coastal Town with Character
Folkestone has transformed in recent years. What was once a quiet seaside town is now a thriving destination for families, creatives, and London-leavers looking for something more grounded and meaningful.
The best part? It’s done it without losing its heart. You’ll still find fish and chip shops, Victorian terraces, and long-standing local businesses—but now they sit alongside art galleries, wine bars, and pop-ups led by local makers.
And thanks to Folkestone Central station, you’re less than an hour from London St Pancras on the high-speed train. That makes it ideal for commuters, hybrid workers, or anyone looking to blend city life with coastal calm.
Places to explore
- The Harbour Arm – A reimagined Victorian pier now packed with street food, music, and community events—all with sea views.
- The Creative Quarter – Cobbled streets lined with studios, independent shops, and galleries. Great for weekend wandering.
- Lower Leas Coastal Park – A beautifully landscaped clifftop park with play areas, sea views, and amphitheatre events in summer.
Plus, there’s a packed local calendar—from the Folkestone Triennial art exhibition to regular markets and festivals celebrating everything from food to music.
Places to Eat & Shop
- The Potting Shed – Tucked away in the Creative Quarter, perfect for artisan coffee and brunch.
- Dr Legumes – Plant-based dishes that even meat-eaters love, set in the buzzing Harbour Arm.
- Steep Street Coffee House – A cosy, book-lined café ideal for slow mornings or writing afternoons.
- Folkestone Wholefoods – Community-run, with a brilliant range of organic groceries, refill stations and ethical goods.
There’s also a real culture of shopping local, from handmade gifts to second-hand finds—reflecting the town’s strong creative identity and sense of pride.
