Hook

Hook is a residential area in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, adjacent to Surbiton and served by local roads that link to the A3. Housing is a mix of Victorian terraces and interwar semi-detached streets, with small parades of shops and a handful of pubs and takeaways clustered along Hook Road. Daily services are centred on those retail runs and nearby schools; buses run into Kingston and Surbiton for wider rail and town-centre connections.

At the heart of the neighbourhood is Hook Rise Park, a substantial public open space with grassed slopes, children's play areas and sports space used by local clubs and schools. The park and the road pattern around it give the area a clear local focus, and community events regularly use the green. The ward combines suburban streets with pockets of planted verges and back lanes that reflect the gradual growth of the area through the 20th century.
