The B261 acts as a southern bypass for Gravesend.
It originally started on the A226 (now B2175) in Northfleet but with the building of the bypass the B261 now starts on the eastern edge of Northfleet, still on the A226.
The road starts by heading briefly into town then TOTSOs left at a set of traffic lights to cross over the A226 immediately afterwards. It continues east through the suburbs of Gravesend and crosses the A227 at traffic lights.
Continuing east through the suburbs of Gravesend, the B261 then passes the 'Bride and Groom' roundabout and terminates about a mile later at the 'Lion' roundabout, again on the A226.
