Your thinking is spot on but not the Pantiles.

In that case I assume it will be in the Pantiles, leading to the houses above the shops?  I'll virtually explore there later when I've a bit of time to waste!

Tunbridge Wells: High Brooms (bit iffy, not really TW), Tunbridge Wells and Spa Valley Railway?
Hastings: West St Leonards, St Leonards Warrior Square and Hasting?
Sevenoaks: Central, Bat & Ball and Dunton Green (also a bit iffy)?

Other than those I'm fresh out of towns.

Folkstone west, central and Eurotunnel?

A few with two stations:
Tonbridge BR & Tonbridge MES
Canterbury east & west
Tenterden: BR & KESR

Not those either = not many left.  :)

Maidstone East, West and Barracks?

Good try MartinR, but not Maidstone.

Ecclesiastical?

Not Ecclesiastical.  In a town.  Can be seen on GSV.

My next GTP.

Where is this and where do the stairs lead to?

Watch out with drones.  The law has been tightened up significantly and for all but the smallest drones you will need a licence.  Even for the small ones, if they have a camera they need licensing.  See https://www.caa.co.uk/drones/rules-and-categories-of-drone-flying/introduction-to-drone-flying-and-the-uk-rules/

Nice camera.  I've recently upgraded from a Canon EOS 4000D to an EOS 7D Mk II.  It's still and APS-C camera, so my glass still works!  Remember that for hand-held the shutter speed should be faster that the reciprocal of the focal length; for 40mm that means 1/400s maximum, better to be a bit quicker.  Hence the need for tripods in all but the most brilliant sunshine.
