Why West Malling and Kings Hill work for business events
Kings Hill was built on the former RAF West Malling airfield, and it's now a large business park and community. You can still see the airfield's history in the names, right down to meeting rooms called Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane.
West Malling itself is a small, attractive market town with an abbey and a good choice of places to eat. Together, they give organisers a business-park setting with free parking and quick motorway access, and a pretty town next door for lunch or dinner.
It's a strong choice for working meetings, interviews, training and board meetings, especially for teams based along the M20 corridor.
