Allington is an almost entirely modern village situated alongside the sides of the A20 road north-west of Maidstone in Kent, England. It is part of the built-up area of Maidstone.
Arthur Mee praised it in the 20th century, using the analogy that "if Kent is the garden of England, Allington is like an English rose set in the midst of it."
