Broadstairs is a coastal town on the Isle of Thanet in the Thanet district of east Kent, England, about 80 miles (130 km) east of London. It is part of the civil parish of Broadstairs and St Peter's, which includes St Peter's, and had a population in 2011 of about 25,000. Situated between Margate and Ramsgate, Broadstairs is one of Thanet's seaside resorts, known as the "jewel in Thanet's crown". The town's crest's Latin motto is Stella Maris ("Star of the Sea"). The name derives from a former flight of steps in the chalk cliff, which led from the sands up to the 11th-century shrine of St Mary on the cliff's summit.

Running from the northern end of Louisa Bay to the Dickens House Museum on Victoria Parade, the sheltered Victoria Gardens along the cliff top promenade were set out during the late 19th-century. As well as there being many benches, on which to sit back in the sunshine and just watch the world go by, the Gardens have views of Viking Bay and include a Bandstand, built in the 1950s, and a decorative Clock Tower, built to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee (to replace a previous Clock Tower marking Queen Victoria's 1897 Diamond Jubilee and which was burnt down in the 1970s).
