The Beatles
When you get your kebab in West Malling, you get a slice of history with it too as the kebab house is home to a blue plaque commemorating the time The Beatles came to town. John Lennon and Ringo Starr can be seen in the High Street in the opening of The Beatlesâ 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour. The Fab Four spent several days filming in the town, including at the disused West Malling Airfield. There is also one to George Orwell at the station.
