Richmond Park, Kingston
Richmond Park is amazingly beautiful and a great place to walk yourself and your dog. It feels like you're in the countryside, as you see green for miles even though you are in Kingston. Plus the park is full of deer and you can get close to them. Great place for cycling too.

Ice cream every way - milkshakes, sundaes or just on its own, a great place to catch up with your mates.
"In the 1500s Cardinal Wolsey wanted a water supply when living at Hampton Court, so he looked to the springs at Coombe. The water was collected and sent 3 and a half miles across Kingston and remained the main water supply to the palace until 1896."
Imagine waking up to views of the River Thames from your very own waterside home in Kingston.

As a local, it's easy to forget how exciting it is to see Kingston's street art for the first time..

Kingston Market is a great place to pick up delicious local produce...
Great sense of community, location perfect for family life and the river and parks on your doorstep. Still has small, independent places to eat and drink like The Canbury Arms.
