Kent - south-east of London. The county town is Maidstone.

As the closest part of England to the continent of Europe, it has frequently been the focal point for invasion attempts, and is traditionally the major embarkation point for overseas travel. Because of its agricultural influence, extensive orchards and hop-gardens, Kent is sometimes known as the 'Garden of England'. Some addresses ending in 'Kent' are administered as part of London; these places lie within the Boroughs of Bexley or Bromley. (In the UK, postal addresses sometimes reflect the patterns of efficient or traditional mail distribution rather than patterns of municipal or county government. Kent is.

Harold Kroto - scientific research. He was raised Jewish, but the religion never seemed to fit his own beliefs, and he has become a strong atheist. He developed an interest in chemistry, physics, and mathematics in secondary school, and because his chemistry teacher in sixth form (last year of secondary school) believed that the University of Sheffield had the best chemistry department in the United Kingdom, he went to Sheffield. In 1961 he took a B. Sc honors degree at Sheffield, followed by a Ph. D at the same institution in 1964. His doctoral research involved high-resolution electronic spectra of free radicals produced by flash photolysis (breaking of chemical bonds by light). Among other things, his doctoral studies included some research on carbon suboxide, O=C=C=C=O, and this led to a general interest in molecules.
