Letting Agents in Kingston KT1

The shopping mecca of the area, Kingston is right at the edge of Southwest London, just as it spills over into countryside and becomes Surrey. It feels like a County Town, and its deep historical roots as a market town inform its structure and the layout and character of its housing even now.

There's a strong centre to Kingston, which means that living here gives you access to splendid shopping, eating and drinking without having to worry about making your way anywhere else. It's very self-contained, with all the big brands as well as a large selection of independent retailers whether you're looking in the Bentall Centre (the huge and labyrinthine shopping mall) or out in the streets, or the lovely Market Square which forms the centre still. Around the centre of the town are all the restaurants you might want, from the typical town-centre fast food and big names to some more upmarket independents towards the edge of the centre, particularly towards the university. Entertainment ranges from the huge multiplex cinema to the town's theatre, which is run by none other than Sir Peter Hall. There's also a lot of sports, with football and riverside activities a big attraction; Kingston has its own regatta and the river plays a big part in its history, present and development.

Kingston University is only the most notable of the educational benefits of the town. There are good schools both inside Kingston itself, and in the environs. Greenery includes the recreation park in the town centre, as well as nearby Richmond, and the walks along the river to Teddington Lock amongst others.

Housing here tends towards the mid-war terrace, as well as semidetached properties in the streets that lead away from the centre. This is a true commuter centre and the housing is aimed both at professional young people - there are good flats in the riverside developments as well as the town centre - and the families. The larger Victorian and Edwardian homes near the centre of the town are perfect for those with growing families and are very much sought after.

A town with everything you'd need, including plenty of space, entertainment and resources, Kingston offers a wide range of places to live, as well as a great base.
