Modern studio in the heart of Maidstone

Maidstone is the largest town in the county of Kent in South East England, of which it is also the county town. Maidstone is historically important and lies 32 miles (51 km) east-south-east of London. The River Medway runs through the centre of the town, linking it with Rochester and the Thames Estuary. Historically, the river carried much of the town's trade as the centre of the agricultural county of Kent, which is known as the Garden of England. There is evidence of settlement in the area dating back before the Stone Age. The town, part of the borough of Maidstone, had an approximate population of 100,000 in 2019. Since World War II, the town's economy has shifted from heavy industry towards light industry and services.

Maidstone is the county town of Kent and is known for its rich history and stunning architecture. Its roots can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and you can still see evidence of this in the town's many historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most popular attractions in Maidstone is Leeds Castle, which dates back to the 9th century. The castle has been beautifully preserved and is surrounded by a moat and extensive gardens, making it a picturesque spot to explore.

If you're interested in learning more about the town's history, a visit to the Maidstone Museum is a must. The museum houses a collection of artifacts that date back to Roman times, as well as exhibits that explore the town's more recent past.
