 | Located in the south east of England the county of Kent is known as the 'Garden of England' and at its heart you'll find Maidstone sitting on the banks of the River Medway.
Maidstone is a major town in Kent and has been since Roman times when their road from Rochester to Hastings passed through the town. Today Maidstone is around 30 miles from both London and the Channel Tunnel. It is ideal for commuters as it has several access points to the M20 motorway that goes from M25 on the outskirts of London to Folkestone on the south east coast, and also connects to the M2 motorway.
Maidstone also has good public transport links with three train stations in the town, Maidstone East, Maidstone West and Maidstone Barracks. Trains from Maidstone East train station will take you to London Victoria and Ashford International, while trains from Maidstone West will take you to Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Tunbridge Wells, Croydon and Gatwick.
If you already live in Maidstone then you'll know it's a great place to shop and has been voted one of the top five places to shop in the south east. However did you also know that it is the business capital of Kent? It is a centre for financial, consultancy and professional services as well as the paper and packaging industry.
