The Area

The Canterbury Tales stands in Canterbury city centre directly facing the busy Marlowe Theatre and just off the historic high street. More than 7,400 adults live within a ten‑minute walk, and the area sees heavy daily footfall from tourists, students and theatre audiences. With 73% of residents in the higher‑affluence bands and no nearer pub competitor to the theatre, the site is ideally placed to become the go‑to traditional pub for pre‑ and post‑show drinks as well as everyday city trade.
