It is bordered by:

• Greater London to the northwest

• The Thames Estuary and North Sea to the north

• The Strait of Dover and the English Channel to the east and south

Simple mental map

If you picture a map of England:

• London sits slightly inland on the Thames.
• Kent lies directly to the southeast of London, stretching down to the Channel coast and across to Dover, which faces France about 21 miles away across the Strait of Dover.

In short, when people ask “where is Kent?”, they almost always mean this county just southeast of London in South East England.

TL;DR: Kent is a county in South East England, just southeast of London, bordered by the Thames Estuary and North Sea to the north and the English Channel/Strait of Dover to the south and east.
