The perfect outer-London base

Situated in leafy Surrey on the banks of the famous Thames and just a 25 minute train ride from Waterloo, Kingston provides the perfect base to explore London and the surrounding area; a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

For nature lovers, local Richmond Park is a top UK site for ancient trees and supports a range of rare species including fungi, birds, beetles, bats, grasses and wildflowers whilst nearby Bushy Park is famed for its mix of waterways, gardens and grassland, and roaming herds of red and fallow deer. 

Popular attractions locally include Kew Gardens, Chessington World of Adventures and Thorpe Park, not to mention Henry VIII's famous Hampton Court Palace which is located just the other side of the river. Why not take a leisurely stroll or bike ride there, and catch the picturesque boat ride back.
