Well, if you don't find the largest* scrapyard south of the Trent to be romantic and inspiring then you might call it a little grim, yes, but as sustainability is all the rage these days I am sure that you, as a man of enterprise, will also find it an invigorating experience.

Anyway, if you look the other way there's the mighty old river and, yes, the industry is soon left behind and you'll be enjoying the sultry desolation of the Dartford marshes in no time.
