The River Centre boasts a breathtaking entrance Foyer. With its floor-to-ceiling glass-fronted entrance and magnificent circling grand staircase, it provides an abundance of natural daylight for daytime events and creates a captivating atmosphere in the evenings.
The River Centre offers unparalleled flexibility. Our ground floor spaces are modular, allowing you to easily combine or divide them to create the perfect layout that suits your needs. Our Breakout Spaces can accommodate up to 100 people, providing endless possibilities for unstructured meetings and collaborative sessions. Additionally, all our spaces are equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi for your convenience.
Getting to the venue is convenient, whether you prefer driving or using public transportation. We are located just 45 minutes away from London by train, with the local Tonbridge train station only a 10-minute walk from the venue. There are also several nearby car parks available.

A great location, hosting Hillsong church Kent. Wonderful friendly welcoming congregation

It over looks the river, hence the name 'The River Centre'. A very well designed building with a useful layout and facilities and a good atmosphere. It seems it is currently privately owned and occupied by a welcoming church family that are attempting to do great things for the surrounding and wider community. It seems there is always an open door during services for those seeking a Christian faith or just curious. Services apparently take place on Sunday mornings and Saturday evenings under normal running and that anyone is welcome. There is no general parking available but there are lots of car parks nearby and is easy walking distance from the high street where a host of bus services stop. Tonbridge train station is approximately a 10 min walk. There is a family room available for those parents nursing and entertaining very young children during services, where the main auditorium is normally streamed real-time onto a screen with audio. There are also special church services for children and events for youth at certain times. The services are uplifting and lively with a contemporary edge, and coffee etc and socialising normally takes place between services.
