- Longfield is a village in the Dartford borough of Kent. It is located four miles south east of Dartford and near Gravesend. The place in Kent is recorded as 'Langanfelda' in the Saxon Charters of 964-995, and as 'Langafel' in the Domesday Book of 1086. The town is served by Longfield railway station which is operated by Southeastern (train operating company) with services to London and the Medway Towns. The village also has a fairly large shopping area, consisting of a local baker and butcher, Waitrose, Co-op, Post Office, Lloyds Pharmacy, estate agents, hair-dressers, Longfield Kebab, Loon Fung Chinese, various Indian restaurants, Longfield Carvery and an antiques shop. The villages of New Barn and Longfield are within and give their names to the civil parish of Longfield and New Barn which also covers the settlement of Longfield Hill. Longfield is the ancient village, situated on the road between Dartford and Meopham; the historic church there is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. New Barn is larger in population than Longfield, although has little in the way of services, being a recent development and purely a residential location. The railway was built in 1861, but Longfield station did not open until 1872. This building was replaced in 1902 after a fire, and rebuilt in 1971. The line was electrified just before the war, but it was many years before the company could be persuaded to set up safety fencing. Many people used to walk to Longfield Halt in Whitehill Road to catch the train to Gravesend West Street. There are two pubs in or within a short journey of Longfield, the Railway Tavern and The Wheatsheaf (one of the first pubs in Kent to ban smoking). The Long Valley Club and the Hartley Country Club are club-based venues restricted to paid membership. Other pubs in the area include the Green Man on Longfield Hill, the White Swan near Ash and the Rising Sun in Fawkham. The Local Government Act 1972 made the village part of the Sevenoaks of Kent in 1974. It was transferred to the borough of Dartford in 1987. Dr Howard Stoate (Labour) has been the MP since 1997.
