Rushenden lies just south of Queenborough, between the town and the Swale, with a mix of homes and the business units along Rushenden Road. It's a short hop to the A249, which makes it one of the quickest places on Sheppey to start an airport transfer.
Because it's so close to the Sheppey Crossing, Rushenden shares Queenborough's journey times: typically just over an hour to Gatwick, and under an hour to London City when the roads are clear.
