Covering: Canterbury, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone, Dover and the rest of the CT postcode area.
The local landmark: Canterbury Cathedral sits at one end of the area and the white cliffs of Dover at the other.
Students: Canterbury is a student city twice over, home to the University of Kent on its hilltop campus and Canterbury Christ Church University near the cathedral.
On the ground: Narrow medieval streets and student lets in Canterbury, with tall Victorian seafront terraces split into flats along the Thanet coast. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Term time student moves dominate in Canterbury, while a steady stream of Londoners relocate to Margate, Whitstable and Folkestone for life by the sea.
While you wait for the van: The Crab and Winkle railway between Canterbury and Whitstable opened in 1830 and issued what is claimed as the world's first season ticket.
