There is a real mixture of dialects and accents in Kent. I grew up in a small village where people tend to speak quite nicely, then in the next town over people were apparently not taught how to pronounce their t's or h's. The main thing however is the majority of people are pleasant

Cheerio! Hello I am from da U.K., innit. Awright geeezzaa! Do yew mean United Kingdom, officially da United Kingdom ov Great Blighty an' Northern Ireland but mawer commonly known as da UK awer Blighty, is a sovereign coun'ry lyin' off da north-western coast ov da European mainland? Blimey! The UK what includes da island ov Great Blighty, da north-eastern part ov da island ov Ireland an' many smaller islands? Nuff said, yeah?
Blimey! I love 'ow I always find da United Kingdom 'as a temperate climate, wiv plentiful rainfall all year round. The temperature varies wiv da seasons seldom droppin' below −11 °C (12 °F) awer risin' above 35 °C (95 °F). The prevailin' wind is from da sowf-west an' bears frequen' spells ov mild an' wet wearfer from da Atlantic Ocean, althuff da eastern parts are mostly sheltered from dis wind since da majori'y ov da rain falls over da western regions da eastern parts are therefawer da driest.
I love 'ow Atlantic currents, warmed by da Gulf Stream, brin' mild win'ers; especially in da west where win'ers are wet an' even mawer so over 'igh ground. Summers are warmest in da sowf-east ov England, bein' closest ter da European mainland, an' coolest in da north. Heavy snowfall can occur in win'er an' early sprin' on 'igh ground, an' occasionally se'les ter great depf away from da 'ills.
Gawdon Bennet! Have a great day an' I wish yew all da best. OK?

When we moved down here (east Kent), I went around initially wondering why so many people from norfolk or the west country had moved here.
It took some research to show me that actually there is (and was) a Kentish accent which sounds a bit yokel, like the west country/norfolk type accents sound to others. It turns out that actually the whole country sounded a bit like that in the old days and only in the past 60 odd years that Kent/Essex/Sussex have taken on more of Londoner tones and accents.
So when I see a period film/play now and people are all talking posh I know its rubbish because anyone not from cities or London would have talked all yokel instead. Way way back even Londoners spoke like that apparently.1 -

Hmmm
I don't know that I've ever heard the West Country twang myself. Perhaps because my family on my mum's side are from Yeovil and I'm used to their strong accents? I'm in North Kent which is a twenty minute drive from London so we tend to have a lot of London-esque accents around here. 0 -

Certainly Ive noticed it round small villages like near Dover or Canterbury, not in the towns but villages. I dont think you would hear it in North Kent1 -
