Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward - Kingston Lettings

Once an ancient market town where Saxon kings were crowned, Kingston still boasts royal affiliations and a reputation for retail therapy. It is now home to two Royal Parks, Hampton Court Palace and a shopping hub to rival Central London. With a friendly community, renowned university and one of the lowest crime rates in London, Kingston’s amenities have lured residents to its leafy streets for decades. Although Kingston is a haven for families seeking a peaceful lifestyle, the recent past has proved that it is not just a quaint suburban town. Its traditional demographic is coexisting with a new influx of young professionals who are falling for the area’s lively cultural scene, riverside pubs and shopping opportunities. As property developers continue to cater to this market, constructing increasingly impressive contemporary apartment blocks with views over the Thames, Kingston cements its status as a prime location for city commuters.
