Location

Kings Hill is strategically located between Sevenoaks and Maidstone on the A228 and is 3 miles south of Junction 4 of the M20, providing a direct link to the M26 and M25, and from there to Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted Airports. This three mile link between the M20 and Kings Hill Business Park is dual carriageway and therefore access to the motorway network is easy.

The Channel Tunnel is some 38 miles to the east on the M20. West Malling station is within a mile and there is a regular train service to London Victoria and Blackfriars stations from West Malling with an average journey time of around 55 minutes. Bus services link surrounding villages and towns and a shuttle provides a service between Kings Hill and the station.

Sited on a former RAF airfield, Kings Hill has become one of the most desirable and prestigious office locations in the South East. It provides quality buildings in a landscaped environment with excellent transport links.

The Business Park lies within a fully masterplanned landscaped environment of 800 acres and together with the offices and homes also includes various sporting facilities with an 18-hole championship golf course and a David Lloyd tennis and leisure complex.
