About
The Institute is located in the historic Northgate area of Canterbury just 5 minutes walk from the ancient Cathedral. The building is easily recognisable with its heraldic shields and Georgian frontage and is half way down Northgate Street.
Arriving By Car

For those wishing to extend their visit, Canterbury offers a lot to see and do. Whilst the Cathedral is the heart of the city, there are many other museums and attractions and, of course, for those with Kentish ancestors a visit to the Cathedral Archives is a must.
