Located just 12 miles from central London (25 minutes by train), the historic town of Kingston sits on the Thames River and is surrounded by parkland. The town of Kingston is a mixture of old and new with a daily open air market as well as chain stores, supermarkets, a shopping mall, night clubs, discos, and multi-screen cinemas. Kingston's location offers the peace and security of living outside the London city center as well as attractive green areas and easy access to the beautiful countryside. The proximity of London as well as the easy accessibility of Kew Gardens, Wimbledon, Hampton Court Palace, Richmond Park, and Windsor makes Kingston an excellent place to live and study.
