From the Knees of my Nose to the Belly of my Toes was a sculpture and public art installation by the artist Alex Chinneck that existed in Cliftonville, Margate, from 2013 to 2014. The house was vacant for eleven years prior to Chinneck's project, and was subsequently restored as housing. The installation created the appearance that the building's facade had slipped down and was built at a cost of £100,000 with materials donated by British industry members who collaborated on the project.

Palm Bay is an area of Cliftonville, a suburb of Margate in Kent, England. The area is predominantly housing, but also has recreational land for the general public. Palm Bay is one of many bays round the coast of Thanet. Palm Bay lies between Walpole and Botany Bays and is popular as a centre for Jet Skiing, the eastern end of Palm Bay is also known as Forness Bay and is the home to a local water skiing club. The original Palm Bay estate was built in the 1930s as a number of large, wide avenues with detached and semi-detached houses with driveways, garages and gardens. This land was sold by Mr Sidney Simon Van Den Bergh to the Palm Bay Estate Co on 23 June 1924. Such avenues include Gloucester Avenue and Leicester Avenue. The estate covers the eastern part of Cliftonville and was fields when the first was built. It extends east beyond Northumberland Avenue and has been developed in phases. An earlier phase covered the northern ends of Leicester and Gloucester Avenues and the whole of Clarence and Magnolia Avenues; the later phase extending eastwards of Princess Margaret Avenue is a Wimpy style housing estate with small houses largely identical in appearance and of less substantial build quality than the original 1930s estate. This is also the location of the Kent Airshow, first taking place in 2005 and again in 2006. For 2007, 2008 and 2009 the airshow was called the Big Event and featured a funfair as well as the air displays.

Clifton Villa Estate, also known as New Cricket Ground, was a cricket ground in the Cliftonville area of the town of Margate in Kent. The only first-class cricket match played on the ground was between Kent County Cricket Club and Sussex County Cricket Club in July 1864. The ground was leased from the Cliftonville Estate from July to October to be used for cricket, although only one other match is known to have taken place on the ground. This took place in the same year and was a non-first-class match between a Margate team and the United All-England Eleven.The ground was built on farmland on the eastern outskirts of Margate. It was only in existence for a short time with the land being built on soon after 1864 as Margate and Cliftonville experienced a rapid expansion following the arrival of the railway in the area. It was probably located in the area of the modern Dalby Square in Cliftonville. This was originally known as Ethelbert Square and was developed as a residential area from 1865. The large Cliftonville Hotel was built in 1868 on what was described as "an island site in the middle of corn fields" to become Margate's "first grand hotel". Grass tennis courts and a croquet lawn were laid out in Dalby Square Gardens from at least 1885 and today the area is laid out as ornamental gardens.Kent teams had played first-class matches on Dandelion Paddock in the Garlinge area to the west of Margate in the 1790s before the establishment of the first county club in 1842.

Margate is a seaside town on the north coast of Kent in south-east England. The town is estimated to be 1+1⁄2 miles (2.5 kilometres) long, 16 miles (26 kilometres) north-east of Canterbury and includes Cliftonville, Garlinge, Palm Bay and Westbrook. The town has been a significant maritime port since the Middle Ages, and was associated with Dover as part of the Cinque Ports in the 15th century. It became a popular place for holidaymakers in the 18th century, owing to easy access via the Thames, and later with the arrival of the railways. Popular landmarks include the sandy beaches and the Dreamland amusement park. During the late 20th century, the town went into decline along with other British seaside resorts, but attempts are being made to revitalise the economy.
