Filming locations in Ramsgate

The bustling coastal town of Ramsgate has a vivid display of historic and modern architecture and its maritime links provide endless filming locations.

Beside the Seaside – Stylish and modern kiosks nestle among traditional donkey rides, a children’s play area and café, on this wide sandy beach. Close by is an original 1950’s arcade, ice cream parlours and seafood stalls.

Harbour History– Stylish yachts and powerboats are moored in the UK's only Royal Harbour, which also boasts the 18th century Sailor’s Church & Smack Boys Home, Jacob's ladder, a stone staircase which provides direct access from the cliff top and the Maritime Museum which details the areas rich and colourful history. The nearby port provides the only ferry passenger service to Ostend.

Unusual Buildings – From Regency Squares, Edwardian crescents and Victorian town houses, Almshouses, Pugin Abbey and gothic houses, flint cottages, a 1930’s boating lake and cafeteria to the modern developments on the seafront and the regeneration work around the town centre offer diversity down every street.

Art and Culture – A quirky array of art can be found around the town and on the beach. Murals adorn the pavilion, giant hands with molecules stand on the Western Undercliff and a brick sofa and chair sit in Charlotte Court providing a surprise on every turn.

Café Society - A mix of fantastic buildings line the harbour side including the unique Customs house, the pretty Jazz Room and the cosmopolitan Miles Bar. Head up into the town for individual shops, a weekend market and an array of restaurants.
