The Great Lines Heritage Park is a complex network of open spaces in the Medway Towns, connecting Chatham, Gillingham, Brompton and the Historic Dockyard. The long military history of the towns has dominated the history of the site and the park. The Great Lines Heritage Park, consists of Fort Amherst, Chatham Lines, the Field of Fire (later known as the Great Lines), Inner Lines, Medway Park (sports centre) together with the Lower Lines. The Lines, were constructed in Napoleonic times. They were never used (during the wars) but they have been used to be a barrier to development, keeping the fort and the Lines mostly untouched. Most of the park is accessible to all at most times. It has many pedestrian and cycle links for residents of the two towns of Gillingham and Chatham.

The ground is owned by the Ministry of Defence and has been used by military teams throughout its history, being linked with the various military establishments at Chatham. It has been known as the Nore Command Cricket Ground and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Recreation Ground, the Nore Command being associated with the nearby Chatham Dockyard. It remains the main home ground used by the Royal Engineers Cricket Club. The ground is located immediately west of the outer defences of Fort Amherst, part of the 18th century military defences associated with the naval base, at the south-west corner of the Chatham Lines, an area of open space historically containing a number of military fortifications. It is overlooked by the Chatham Naval Memorial and is around 0.9 kilometres (0.56 mi) north-east of Chatham town centre and 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) west of Gillingham town centre. Although technically the ground is in Gillingham it, along with the military establishments nearby, is traditionally referred to as being located in Chatham.

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.

Old Brook Pumping Station, was a water pumping station operating in Chatham, Kent from 1929 until 1980. It now survives as a working museum.

Chatham Police Station was a police station of the Kent County Constabulary (later Kent Police) located on The Brook, Chatham, Kent, England. It served the Chatham area (a major naval dockyard and garrison town) throughout much of the 20th century and into the early 2000s. The station is recorded in contemporary accounts as still operational in 2002–2011, but was closed in the mid-2000s after Kent Police consolidated town policing into Medway Police Station, located in Gillingham. Chatham Police Station lay opposite the Medway Magistrates' Court. The Kent Police asset register (2024) still lists "Chatham Police Station, The Brook, Chatham" among its properties but no policing functions occur there today. The former police station was occupied by Kent County Constabulary as the Chatham Division headquarters and later by Kent Police (the successor force after 1974). Contemporary news reports confirm the station's use in the early 21st century: for example, in 2002 a high-speed motorway chase ended with suspects brought back to this Chatham station for questioning, and in 2004 two individuals were reported to have been held and questioned there in a child-death investigation. After the Medway Police Station opened in Gillingham in March 2007, the Chatham station at The Brook was closed. In the station's later years it came to be referred to as the former Chatham police station. Internally, the station would have contained the typical facilities of a small-town police house: holding cells (lock-ups) for detained persons, interview/desk offices, an "incident room" or briefing area, and accommodation for sergeants or constables on duty. Later Kent Police reports mention an "incident room" at Chatham in the 1980s case of Victoria Anyetei. Several high-profile events touched Chatham Police Station over the years. In 1905 the famous escapologist Harry Houdini staged a public escape at Barnard's Palace of Varieties in Chatham. Newspaper accounts describe how Houdini was locked up handcuffed in a Chatham jail cell (at a temporary setup for the show) and promptly broke out. Notably, local accounts suggest Chatham police refused to participate in Houdini's demonstration, so police from nearby Rochester handled it instead. During World War II, Chatham's station played a role in frontline defense. In 1941 a German Messerschmitt crashed on nearby high ground (Luton), and the wounded pilot was reportedly taken under guard by the Home Guard to Chatham Police Station. An angry crowd of local civilians had gathered, but police and guards ensured the pilot's safe custody. (The pilot later returned in 1955 to thank his rescuers.)

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.

The Victory Academy (formerly Bishop of Rochester Academy and Medway Community College) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Chatham in the English county of Kent.
