An entertainment park in Kent by movie giant Paramount is one step closer to becoming a reality.

London Paramount has bought its first piece of land to build the park in the area of Swanscombe.

A former landfill site Bamber Pit, which measured 8.96 acres, and Sports Ground, reaching more than 9 acres, in Swanscombe have been bought.

This is the first outright land purchase by the London Paramount team, and follows the option agreement reached with Lafarge Tarmac in 2014 for the acquisition of their land on the Swanscombe Peninsula.

“With this agreement in place, the vision for North Kent as the home of a nationally significant, multi-billion pound Entertainment Resort employing thousands of people is moving another step closer to becoming a reality. It further underlies our commitment to delivering the project and is welcome news as we continue to consult and engage with the local Dartford and Gravesham communities near the site and more widely with our interested parties.”
