How to get to the Cliftonville/MargateOffice
By Road
Please find below a simplified travel plan from the A2 out of London onto the main M2 motorway which is the main route from London and the North. If you were travelling on the alternative M20 motorway which terminates at Dover you would take the A249 or A299 which are the junctions situated around Maidstone onto the M2 and follow the instructions from that point. There are also main links from Dover, Deal and Sandwich with signs generally directing you to Ramsgate. This route uses the A256. Dover is about 36 minutes from Ramsgate.
- From A2 (Do watch for speed cameras on A2)
- Continue onto M2 (signs for Dover/Channel Tunnel/Canterbury/Chatham) 25.7 mi
- Continue onto Thanet Way/A299
- Continue to follow A299 16.2 mi
- At the roundabout at the square in Birchington, take the 2nd exit onto Canterbury Rd/A28
- Continue to follow A28,
- You will travel through a set of traffic lights and although a dual carriageway it’s a 30-40mph speed limit.
- There are often mobile speed cameras at Birchington and also 2 fixed speed cameras, one near King Ethelbert’s School and one in Westbrook both coming to and going from Margate.
- Follow the road until you reach the sea front with sandy beaches to your left, this is Marine Gardens near Margate Station 5.6 mi
- At the traffic lights follow the seafront, take the 1st exit onto Marine Dr/B2051

Parking your car or motorbike.
You can park on the majority of roads which link Eastern Esplanade (The Seafront) to the Northdown Road. In these roads their is no payment or set time limit and they tend be be covered by Thanet Councils CCTV system. There is also a public car park in Harold Road Cliftonville about a five minute walk from the office or there is paid for parking on the main Northdown Road. Thanet does have a lot of traffic wardens who sneak around and pounce like a praying mantis, so please don’t park on double yellow lines or forget to get a pay and display ticket. A parking ticket would spoil your day out by the sea.
By Bus
We have an excellent bus service in Thanet called The Thanet Loop run by Stagecoach, there are main hubs at Westwood and Margate Town Centre in Cecil Street near the Thanet Council Offices.
This is the main bus hub in Margate. This service allows you to travel to Cliftonville, Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Birchington, Westgate and surrounding areas. All Cooke & Co offices are on main bus routes. See Stagecoach timetable for full details.
By Rail
We now have a high speed link to and from London from St Pancras although if you get hungry then pack a picnic as there is no buffet car or trolley service. The upside is you can charge you phone, laptop or just some batteries, if you feel that way inclined, for free with the socket under you seat.
- St Pancras Stop ID: STP
- Train London St Pancras to Margate Train towards Margate approximately (1 hour 22 minutes, 6 stops)
- Service run by South Eastern
- Penultimate stop: Ramsgate
The alternative is the original Margate seaside service from Victoria Station.
- Train for London Victoria usually platform 2 or 5
- Ramsgate is where service terminates. Service via Gillingham where train divides.
- Margate is 4 stops before Ramsgate and Westgate is the stop before
- It takes approximately (1 hour 50 minutes)
Be careful at Gillingham as the train splits usually with the rear 4 coaches heading off to Dover Priory. If you are on those by mistake you may never be seen or heard from ever again! The front coaches go to via Whitstable and Herne Bay towards Margate. Service run by South Eastern rail.
The station closest to Cliftonville office is Margate Station and there is a taxi rank right outside the station. If you are feeling brave then the office is approximately 2 miles away following the seafront towards the clock tower. The walk is uphill and takes about 30 minutes of brisk walking.
About the Cliftonville / Margate branch
Cliftonville was the first of four Cooke & Co offices and was established in 1992by founding owner Damien Cooke MNAEA MARLA ,The Margate branch is situated in a prime position on the junction of Sweyn Road and the main Northdown Road in Cliftonville, Margate.
The branch is painted in a distinctive traditional grey colour with modern signage accents picking out some of the buildings ornate carvings. We are reliably informed that our office was originally a tram station.
The building is fully illuminated at night and the offices are set over two floors offering our clients one of the largest property window displays in Thanet. Access to the office is extremely easy with plenty of surrounding on road parking as well as being situated right on a main bus route. For our clients comfort we have full air conditioning and have both open areas as well as more private offices for confidential discussions.
Damien oversees this office making this office licensed by the NAEA and ARLA. Damien is assisted by his experienced team who all live locally. These include Mr Vincent Bridges who is our newest staff member. Ms Sarah Hanna who has worked for Cooke & Co for over 19 years and has an excellent reputation, being a champion of the Turner Centre and Justin Smith who has experienced working at all three Cooke & Co branches over a eight year period. Together they make a formidable team.
The office deals with both sales and lettings although lettings is dealt with by a dedicated separate team within the Cliftonville office.
We are pleased to cover all areas surrounding Margate including the historic Old Town, home to inspirational Turner Contemporary art gallery, Cliftonville, Westbrook, Westgate, Birchington, Palm Bay and the surrounding Villages. Our lettings department covers the whole of the Thanet area. We link all our local offices together, and they work together not against each other.
