Waterfront Living
On the Medway
From the modern waterfront of St Mary's Island to the historic slipways of the Chatham Dockyard, this area of Kent offers a unique blend of industrial heritage and contemporary living. These images are captured from drone altitudes, revealing the geometric beauty of the island development and the winding path of the River Medway.
Every flight reveals a new perspective — the way dawn light hits the masts in the marina, the historic silhouette of Upnor Castle across the water, or the vibrant sunset colours reflected in the estuary.
