Platt is a small, largely rural parish in the borough of Tonbridge and Malling in west Kent, England, set amid the chalky slopes and orchards that characterise this part of the county. The village sits close to larger settlements such as Borough Green and Sevenoaks, and enjoys the mix of quiet lanes, agricultural land and pockets of woodland typical of the North Downs fringe.
Historically the area reflects Kent’s agricultural past - fruit-growing and hop gardens were once important - and there are a number of attractive country houses and a traditional parish church that speak to its long history. Today it retains a strong village community feel with local events, small businesses and many residents who commute to London or nearby towns, so the parish combines a peaceful rural character with practical links to larger economic centres.
