About

Kingston upon Thames sits on the south bank of the River Thames in southwest London, where the Thames Path runs along the riverside and the town links to Surrey by Kingston Bridge. The centre brings together a market area, shopping streets and a riverside promenade with Canbury Gardens and moorings for local boats. Transport hubs include Kingston railway station and multiple bus routes, and Kingston University maintains a campus close to the town centre, which contributes to evening events and student activity.

The settlement grew as a market town; a market charter dating to 1208 still shapes the weekly stalls and traders. Outside the Guildhall stands the Coronation Stone, reputedly used in Anglo-Saxon coronations, a frequent point on town-centre walks. Cultural sites include the Rose Theatre and Kingston Museum, while the high street and adjacent lanes host a mix of independent traders and larger shops. Regular markets, seasonal events and riverside walks form much of public life in the area.
