tips_and_updates
Maidstone & Kent Visitor Tip
Leeds Castle — use ME17 1PL (Broomfield) for satnav, NOT "Leeds Castle"; the castle is in the village of Broomfield, 4 miles south-east of Maidstone town centre, not in Leeds, West Yorkshire; our drivers approach via the M20 J8 exit and know the Broomfield approach lanes. Maidstone Museum — ME14 1LH on St Faith's Street, off Week Street; the easiest drop-off is on Week Street. Archbishop's Palace — ME15 6YE on Mill Street beside the Medway; approach via College Road into Mill Street. Maidstone East station — ME14 1HG on Week Street, 2 minutes walk from the town centre. Southeastern from Victoria to Maidstone East is approximately 1 hour; from Southend Airport you'd need Greater Anglia to Liverpool Street, tube to Victoria, then Southeastern — approximately 2h30m minimum. Our taxi is door-to-door in 1h15m.

starstarstarstarstar
"Leeds Castle day trip from Leigh-on-Sea. Flew easyJet to Amsterdam for a weekend and came back to Southend arrivals. Booked a saloon to Leeds Castle ME17 1PL. Driver A13, M25, M20, and came off at J8 for Broomfield and drove into the castle car park. He knew ME17 1PL as the satnav address rather than Leeds Castle, which is correct because satnav for Leeds Castle as text takes you to Leeds in Yorkshire. In the gate in one hour sixteen minutes from Southend arrivals. The castle moat is genuinely spectacular."

"Kent business travel from Rayleigh. I fly Ryanair from Southend to Faro monthly and use this service to my Maidstone office ME14. Saloon every time, driver A13, M25 clockwise around the south, M20 to J6, A229 into town. Door to door Southend arrivals to Week Street ME14 in one hour twelve minutes on a Tuesday morning outside rush hour. The train from Southend would be Liverpool Street, tube to Victoria, Southeastern to Maidstone East — two and a half hours minimum with connections. At £85 for a saloon this is exceptional value and I bill it as client travel without hesitation."

"Maidstone Museum visit from Westcliff. Family flew back from Malaga via Southend, booked an MPV for five of us to go to the Archbishop's Palace and Maidstone Museum the same afternoon. Driver met us in arrivals with name board, loaded five bags into the MPV, took A13, M25, M20 J6, A229 into town. He dropped us at the Archbishop's Palace ME15 6YE on Mill Street first (riverside, stunning medieval hall) and then took us on to the Museum on St Faith's Street ME14 1LH. The Egyptology collection and the Westerham Tiger surprised everyone."
