As the closest part of the UK to mainland Europe, living and working in the Dover district also means France is on your doorstep. With a ferry leaving Dover every 30 minutes, you can literally pop out to a real French bistro for lunch!
Why not try a little designer shopping at Cité Europe, one of the largest shopping centres in Northern Europe, or visit Nausicaa in Boulogne, France’s national marine aquarium.
With fast motorway connections from Calais to Lille, Paris, Ostend, Brugge and Brussels, you could spend the weekend exploring Europe too!
