About

Green Lane & St James ward sits in the northern part of Kingston upon Thames, bordering the Thames and Richmond Park. The area is primarily residential, characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern apartment developments closer to the river. Its streets are quiet and tree-lined, providing a direct contrast to the busy town centre just to the south.

The ward is defined by its significant green spaces, including Canbury Gardens which runs along the riverbank. This linear park is a focal point for local recreation. The presence of Kingston Railway Station and the mainline tracks creates a distinct western boundary, while the ancient Coombe Wood lies to the east, offering woodland walks.
