Chatham Waterfront bus station serves the area of Medway, South East England. The bus station opened in October 2011, replacing the town's previous Pentagon bus station which was built in the 1970s and was considered an unwelcoming environment for passengers. The bus station is part of the town's regeneration scheme. Medway Council demolished the John Hawkins flyover in Chatham town centre to make room for the bus station.The main operators at the bus station are Arriva Southern Counties and Nu-Venture. The bus station has 19 stands on four platforms. Bus services run from the bus station around the Medway area and to parts of Kent. The bus station has a travel centre and public toilets.The bus station has been criticised for its open design and waterfront location as compared to the previous enclosed Pentagon bus station.

Pentagon bus station was the main bus interchange in Chatham, Kent, South East England. It was an integral part of the Pentagon Shopping Centre. Before its closure in 2011, 80% of local services started, terminated or passed through the centre.As part of the redevelopment plans for central Chatham, the Pentagon bus station was replaced in October 2011 by the Chatham Waterfront bus station on Globe Lane, adjacent to Military Rd. Space previously used by the bus station will be used to expand the Pentagon Shopping Centre. The new bus shelters have been designed to have living roofs (mainly sedums).The Pentagon bus station was arranged as a two-lane, one-way, ring road around the outside of the Pentagon Shopping Centre at the upper level. The station had 18 bays, all on the inside of the road around the irregular 5 sided building. Bus access came from street level (The Brook) via one street level ramp and could exit via the same or a second ramp as appropriate. In order to move the station from the Pentagon centre, Medway Council had to purchase the lease for the site back off Arriva Southern Counties, which was due to hold the lease until 2018. Arriva held the right to use the site as it had taken over Maidstone & District Motor Services, the previous incumbent. Access to the station by other operators has been a cause of historical controversy. The issue was placed within the scope of a 1993 Competition Commission inquiry into The supply of bus services in Mid and West Kent. As a result of the inquiry, M&D were required to undertake to provide equal access at reasonable rates and conditions. In late 2013, Medway Council planned to turn the disused station into a car park for its employees but as of 2015 all entrances have been fenced off.

The Pentagon Shopping Centre (known locally as 'The Pentagon') is a shopping centre in Chatham in Kent. The centre's name derives from the fact that its main courtyard is five-sided. The shopping centre is located next to the Waterfront bus station which replaces the Pentagon bus station, which 80% of services use. The shopping centre contains over 70 shops and 7 leisure facilities, many high street names in fashion, homeware and food stores. There are also cafes, restaurants and a bowling alley. As is common with some other 1970's era town centre shopping centres, The Pentagon does not feature a food court or any dedicated dining area. Instead, there are various food outlets scattered throughout the centre. Built as part of the redevelopment of Chatham town centre in the 1970s, the Pentagon also features the high rise Mountbatten House office block, which has controversially stood empty or part-used for most of its history. The Pentagon, Mountbatten House and the Brook multi-storey carpark are built in a distinctive orange-red brick with grey concrete.

Chatham Ragged School is a former ragged school in King Street, Chatham, Kent. Built in 1858, it served as a free school for poor and destitute children under the Victorian “ragged school” movement. The modest one-storey brick structure still bears its original “RAGGED SCHOOL” stone plaque above the entrance. On April 21, 2020, it was designated a Grade II listed building in recognition of its historical importance. Ragged schools were 19th-century charities providing free basic education to the poorest children. The movement began with individuals like John Pounds (who taught street children for free in Portsmouth from 1818) and was organized nationally by the Ragged School Union (founded 1844). By 1870 around 350 ragged schools operated in Britain. In Chatham, a lecture by the Field Lane Ragged School secretary in 1849 inspired local volunteers to open a school for destitute children. Chatham Ragged School began in April 1849 in a small house on Queen Street. It quickly outgrew this site as demand grew in the densely populated Brook-area slums. In 1856 local supporters raised subscriptions to build a permanent school on new land provided at the top of King Street. 1849: Chatham ragged school opens in a Queen Street cottage (inspired by a lecture at the Mechanics’ Institute). 1856: Fundraising begins for a purpose-built school; the War Office grants a site at King Street and £20 towards costs. 7 October 1858: Foundation stone is laid (by Lady Harriet Smith, wife of Sir Frederick Smith, local MP). £250 of the £400 cost had been raised, with a gala bazaar in 1860 clearing the remaining deficit. c. 1860: New school building completed and opened. Designed by architect John Young (who gave his services free). Late 19th/Early 20th century: The ragged school operates for several decades; its exact closing date is unknown. It appears on an 1898 map as a school, but by 1903 maps still label it as “school” and by 1932 as a “hall”. 1930s: Much of Chatham’s Brook-area slums are demolished in clearance programs. The ragged school building survives as a rare vestige of the pre-20th-century community.
