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.

Time for a clue. This town has three railway stations.

Ecclesiastical?

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

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.

I have a camera with a long lens - or rather, my wife does. A Nikon D80 digital camera. She doesn't use it, so I'm thinking I might as well. Need to invest in a tripod for it though. I'm also thinking of buying a drone.

Thanks MartinR

That one was fun.  I reckon you were near the Premiere Inn when you took that?

Next one up soon.

Near enough John, sat on the seafront in Southend looking across the Thames.  ISO 100, f/5.0, 210mm with APS_C cropping = 336mm, further cropped in post-processing.  Over to you John.

From the end of Southend Pier ?  (with a very long lens)

Trying to work out the angle that puts the fort to the right of the turbines.
