Why Buyers Choose
Kingston KT1
Kingston lies in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames — the oldest of England’s four royal boroughs, located in South West London.
This riverside town is renowned for its bustling market scene, enduring history, and connectivity to some of London’s best natural wonders. And with central London just 30 minutes away, the city’s energy is never far.
From Stalls To Shops
Established as a market town in the 12th century, Kingston preserves its historic roots with a range of dynamic retail offerings. In the ancient marketplace, explore stalls brimming with jewellery, exotic food and flowers. For a more modern scene, the Bentall Centre brings a plethora of diverse shops into one single space for you to discover.
Exceptional Education
Kingston’s social and cultural scene is enriched by the area’s outstanding education. For those seeking exceptional higher education opportunities, Kingston College and Kingston University offer an array of rewarding courses. The top-tier local secondary schools empowers students to carve their academic journey in a lively town environment.
Royal Connections
Situated in a royal English borough, Kingston is uniquely tied to royalty — a connection further enriched by its close proximity to Hampton Court Palace, the majestic and cherished residence of King Henry VIII. A 30-minute drive, Richmond Park is London’s largest Royal Park, where herds of deer freely roam against a backdrop of stunning nature. Past monarchs once dwelled in this vast green expanse, which today provides a scenic escape with stunning views that make it hard to believe you’re still in the city.
