The Magical Mystery Tour film was first shown on BBC1 on 26 December 1967. Much of it was filmed at a disused RAF airfield near West Malling, which has now been redeveloped as Kings Hill.

Near the start of the film, Ringo Starr goes into a Newsagent to buy tickets for the Magical Mystery Tour from a poorly disguised John Lennon. The newsagent was the Town Newsagency, at 90 High Street in West Malling, which is now occupied by the Rain Grill kebab house. The town has commemorated the shop as part of the local council’s own local Blue Plaques Scheme (see details here).
