About Stone
Stone is a small Kent settlement, part of the Borough of Dartford, that would rarely make headlines on its own — except that it happens to be the actual location of Bluewater, one of the largest shopping centres in the UK. Opened in 1999 inside a former chalk quarry with 50-metre cliffs still visible around the site, Bluewater covers around 240 acres and holds some 300 stores across its retail malls, drawing millions of visitors a year from across Kent, south-east London and Essex.
Stone sits right on the Thames, immediately west of Greenhithe and just a few minutes' drive from Dartford. RushXO runs a dedicated Stone rota from our nearby Dartford base — our drivers know the Bluewater roundabout system and the quickest ways in and out at every time of day.
