Kingston upon Thames is an ancient market town with a beautiful riverside location on the outskirts of south-west London. Here, historic buildings and streets, age-old markets, guided tours and the local museum recall a past filled with colourful royal associations, while the vibrant bars, cafés, restaurants, clubs, theatres and art galleries offer a more contemporary appeal to the thousands of visitors and students attending Kingston University and Kingston College. The shopping is exceptional, with Eden Walk, Clarence Street and the Bentall Centre forming the major retail areas, although there are small, specialist shops at the recent Charter Quay development - a riverside piazza that includes attractive housing, a theatre, various eating and drinking venues, and a stretch of wetlands. Further entertainment, from cinema to tenpin bowling, is provided at the modern Rotunda complex. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy a trip alongside the Thames (which flows through the scenic Canbury Gardens) or its tributary, the Hogsmill. Summer boat trips to Hampton Court and Richmond are always popular. Other nearby attractions are Bushy Park and Home Park, both close to the magnificent Hampton Court Palace and its gardens and golf club, and three family theme parks: Chessington, Legoland and Thorpe Park.
