Larkfield is a large village in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. Located on the western edge of the Maidstone area and close to the River Medway, it benefits from good road links to the M20 and A20, so many residents commute to nearby towns or to London.
Once part of Kent’s orchard and hop‑growing countryside, Larkfield has grown into a mainly suburban community with a mix of housing, local shops, small industry and leisure facilities; you’ll find community clubs, sports pitches and patches of green that nod to its agricultural past. The local economy is driven by retail and light business, while social life centres on schools, community groups and the nearby research and commercial hubs that serve the wider Malling area.
