Yes there is biblically a very distinct difference between the two. The Kingdom of Heaven is what Jesus mostly describes in the parables, and is better understood as the kingdom under the heavens. It contains evil as you will notice almost every parable states. The Kingdom of God is where God truly rules, and today that is in the hearts of people. Romans tells us the Kingdom of God is righteousness and Joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. The Kingdom of God is within us. The distinction between them is quite clear and important to understand.

The majority view is that there is no difference, that they are just different terms for the same thing.
Another view is that the Kingdom of Heaven refers only to the Heavenly realm while the Kingdom of God includes the new earth and heaven to come.

No.They are the same thing.Jehovah's Heavenly Kingdom is in the Heavens.Christ Jesus is currently ruling as King of this Kingdom and will soon take the lead in Jehovah God's great war of Armageddon.
And finally Matt.6:10 wil have it's fulfillment:"Let your kingdom come,let your will take place,as is in heaven also upon the earth."

It is really splitting hairs. However, the thing Jesus said about Heaven and the Kingdom was that he was here to give us Heaven on Earth and a Heaven after our stay on Earth.
One simple verse from Jesus will give you that; a taste of Heaven, and a requirement to go to Heaven.
Jesus told us, "Forgive others for their mistakes. If you do not forgive them, then your father in Heaven will not forgive you."
I know, I know. It's tough to do. But try it and see how it will even make you healthier.
