Southfleet takes its name from the River Fleet, a minor tributary of the River Thames. The water that supplied the river came from a place called Springhead, where there were watercress and oyster beds; the river then flowed through Southfleet, Ebbsfleet and Northfleet. Southfleet only has one shop, Broaditch Farm Shop, located near the duck pond, however there is also a pub, the Ship Inn, found in the centre of the village.
