Larkfield is a suburban ward in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in Kent, England. It lies west of Maidstone, close to the A20 and M20 corridors and neighbouring Leybourne and New Hythe, with easy access to the River Medway and the recreational area around Leybourne Lakes.
Primarily residential with pockets of light industry and retail, the area expanded during the 20th century from orchards and farmland into a commuter-friendly community with local shops, schools and sports clubs. Its proximity to waterways and lakes gives residents good opportunities for walking, cycling and watersports, while strong transport links mean many people travel to Maidstone, Tonbridge or London for work, preserving a quietly suburban, family-oriented social feel.
