About

High Street ward is a compact urban area situated directly in the centre of Maidstone. It is primarily defined by its retail and commercial functions, with the main shopping thoroughfare running through it. The ward contains the Royal Star Arcade, a historic covered shopping passage. Residential properties are largely concentrated in apartment buildings above street-level units, creating a mixed-use environment typical of a town core.

The area functions as the primary civic and administrative hub, housing the Maidstone Borough Council offices at the Maidstone House building. Weekdays see a concentration of workers and shoppers, with footfall centred around the high street stores and service businesses. The ward's layout is a dense grid of streets, with the Medway river forming a boundary to the north, separating it from the residential areas beyond.
