It will be Dartford. Now the MC has closed they are also putting local offices like Swanscombe in there.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Most people are advised to visit the office you would like to transfer to. If you leave it to your line manager, whatever your opinion of them is, it will take a lot longer overall. At least if you go to the office you wish to go to, you'll know straight away if there are any vacancies and/or any possibility of the move happening.

Swanscombe moved into Dartford last year as did Belverdere apparentlly it's a bit chaotic,and you still have Bexley ,Longfield&Erith to move into there to.
