Good luck with the hunt, mate. I was at Hop farm last week and I thought my light pollution was bad where I live!

Only really dark skies are around Romney Marsh and even then you get the LP from Ashford to the north east.

I think you will struggle around Maidstone / Medway , although i have been camping in Biddenden and it wasnt as bad.
