This one will blow your socks off:
http://graintowerbattery.co.uk/
Just off the east edge of the Isle of Grain (another weirdasf*ck place to visit)
Reachable at low tide by causeway.
It was up for sale not too long ago - with the address of No.1 The Thames.
There's still a huge length of chain around it's girth - during the war this was attached to a heavy duty steel net which stretched across the mouth of the Medway to Sheerness harbour - to prevent German subs from entering the Medway (naval ports etc were there).
Don't cycle out there on any day other than a bank holiday - the road out there is horrible, horrible, horrible on account of the container lorries heading out to Thamesport - bank hols the port is closed....
