Kings Hill is a modern, planned village and civil parish in Tonbridge and Malling, Kent, developed on the site of the former RAF West Malling airfield. The layout preserves aspects of the airfield - broad avenues and open tarmaced areas repurposed as roads and public spaces - and combines a sizeable business park with residential neighbourhoods, a compact shopping and leisure centre, schools and parks. It sits close to West Malling with convenient road and rail connections into London and around Kent.
Economically the area mixes local employment in offices and light industry with a large commuter population; culturally it has an active community life with local events, sports facilities and green spaces, and a visible aviation heritage commemorated around the village. The settlement tends to attract families and professionals seeking modern amenities in a Kentish setting, with views towards the North Downs and across the Weald.
