About

Southborough lies within the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, positioned between the town centre and Surbiton. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Edwardian and Victorian terraced houses along tree-lined streets. Its boundaries are loosely defined by the main roads of Kingston Hill, Penrhyn Road, and Surbiton Road, creating a quiet neighbourhood feel distinct from the adjacent commercial hubs.

The area is served by local shops and amenities along Southborough Lane and offers good transport links via nearby bus routes. Residents have access to several green spaces, including the grounds of the former Kingston Hospital and the wider expanse of Richmond Park to the north. The presence of Kingston University's Penrhyn Road campus adds a student population to the local community.
