About

The Allington area is situated along the western bank of the River Medway, just north of Maidstone's town centre. It is primarily a residential district characterised by a mix of housing, from post-war estates to older properties. The area is bordered by the A20 road, providing a main transport route, and includes some light industrial and commercial premises near its northern edges. Its riverside location defines much of its local geography and available green space.

A notable local feature is Allington Lock, which marks the tidal limit of the River Medway and is part of a series of locks enabling navigation. The area contains the ruins of Allington Castle, a 13th-century structure set in private grounds. The surrounding paths along the river and the presence of boatyards contribute to a focus on riverside activity, distinct from the more retail-focused centre of Maidstone.
