Kingston upon Thames
- Share This:
-
A town in South-West London situated south of Richmond and east of the River Thames. Families move here for the good schools, access to Richmond Park and spacious Victorian houses that are relatively affordable compared to Richmond and Wimbledon. The town centre is busy but provides good shopping and restaurants.

Kingston is ideally located east of the River Thames and surrounded by some of London's nicest parks, Richmond Park, Wimbledon Park, Bushey Park, Hampton Court Park and Putney Heath so you really are lost for choice if green space is your thing. There is also a busy city centre and shopping centre if that's your thing (certainly not mine), but it does provide convenience. Although Kingston feels way out, it has good public transport links with both Kingston and Norbiton stations providing easy access into Waterloo within the hour. It is also known to have many good schools in the area, although I don't know much more about this myself. All of these factors make Kingston a very popular place to live if you don't mind being a little distance from Central London.

I'm not a huge fan of the big town centre, it's quite bland and lacks character.. but there are some gorgeous residential roads with grand houses by the river. I love driving through these roads when I'm passing through.
