About

Kings Hill occupies the site of the former RAF West Malling airfield and combines housing, business parks, shops and community facilities. The layout of streets and green spaces reflects the site's past use, and office buildings sit alongside local shops, a primary school and sports pitches. A central square serves as a focal point for markets and community events, and pedestrian paths link residential areas to the built-up business zones and play areas.

Wateringbury lies on the banks of the River Medway a short distance to the east and retains a village character centred on its station on the Medway Valley Line, a village hall and riverside pubs. River features include Wateringbury Lock and historic riverside mill buildings that mark local industry past and present. Footpaths follow the river and connect orchards and fields to the village, while small local shops and services cater to daily needs. Both places sit within the Tonbridge and Malling district and share local schools, clubs and parish arrangements.
