About Margate
Margate is a Kent seaside town of around 61,000 — undergoing a creative renaissance with the Turner Contemporary, Dreamland and a growing arts community. Housing varies from Victorian seafront terraces in Cliftonville to modern flats around the harbour and family homes in Garlinge.
Our Margate drivers know the seafront parking, the A299 Thanet Way, and the regular high-speed train into St Pancras.
Hello Vans has Margate-based drivers and modern vans ready.
