Nice to visit and take photos. Specially for Indians as Mujse Dosti Karogi film songs suiting here.

A really nice art sculpture based in Kingston that is easy to see of old classic telephone boxes.

During my visit to Kingston, I came across the classic red London telephone boxes, and they were such a charming sight. a little piece of London’s culture. Seeing them in Kingston made the walk even more enjoyable and gave the place a unique and authentic London vibe.

London 3.0 It's a wonderful piece of work in old london road in kingston upon thames. This Place is also used in one song of Hrithik Roshan.

It was really, really interesting to see this after having viewed it on various You Tube channels. Many people have raised the issue that the booths could use repainting, which I think is a fantastic idea. It would be really neat if some booths could be kept red, while others painted with different colours and designs. It was interesting to photograph this and so many people have achieved excellent shots of this sculpture. The refurbished sculpture was unveiled by David Mach on 3 April 2019. I think that the sculpture is unique and I enjoyed seeing it.

It's a cool display easily found in Kingston.

a very cute and lovely art sculpture highly respecting London signature phone stand, good for photos

Incredibly disappointed with our experience of the Rose Theatre. We were only able to buy restricted view tickets by the time we discovered the event and bought them, so were expecting it to not be that great - but we had literally no view of the stage whatsoever. Avoid buying tickets at the end of the rows in the Upper Circle (we were B57 and B58). I find the seating plan on their website completely misleading as it's more of a semi circle on there, whereas in reality the theatre is totally circular and we were essentially facing away from the stage. As there was a wall right next to our left we opted to stand for the whole thing (in the shadows and not in front of anyone) otherwise we'd have totally missed out. I would expect this from an older theatre but an interesting choice for one that's slightly more modern. Shame on the Rose Theatre for even selling tickets for seats like these.

The Rose Theatre, situated along the River Thames in Kingston, provides an intimate and engaging atmosphere. We went on a visit to watch, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ which was phenomenal, we loved every second of it! Such artistry. The auditorium had a semicircular design, which brings the audience close to the performers, ensuring a unique theatre experience with excellent views and acoustics throughout, my daughter was also offered a cushion to adjust her height, to be able to have a better view of the stage. The theatre itself is welcoming, with a spacious foyer, friendly staff, and a comfortable café and bar area. However, be prepared for high prices on snacks, particularly for children. A small tub of sweets is priced at £2.20, and a small bar of chocolate costs £1.80 — notably expensive for what they are. Overall, the Rose Theatre is a delightful place to enjoy a live performance, despite the cost of its concessions.

Great night out. The tickets were a bit expensive, but what's involved and who to make a show is fair. Drinks were a fair price from the rose theatre.

Went to my girlfriend’s graduation at Rose Theatre, and honestly, the place was a letdown. Seats were uncomfortable, worn out, and some looked like they’d been chewed by rats. For the price and the importance of the event, it felt unacceptable. Both the theatre and university should do better — graduates and families deserve a cleaner, more respectful venue.

popped into the Rose Theatre Café today and was surprised by how rude one of the staff members was. I was quietly sitting with my own small food item due to a health condition, and a worker walked past and abruptly told me I “can’t eat external food” without any politeness or attempt to understand the situation. I completely respect café policies, but the way it was handled felt unnecessary and unkind. A bit of basic courtesy or willingness to listen would have made all the difference. Unfortunately, the attitude alone has put me off returning.

Rocket Man , the Elton John Tribute act - what a show. Great view, didnt look like there are any restricted view seats at all. Comfy seat, plenty of space in the bar area, not the usual squashed corner you get in older venues. Will be back

Rose theatre is a bright welcoming space. The shows are well crafted and the staff is kind. Overall, it's a theatre with strong production and a relaxed riverside vibe.

This time of year, it becomes everything, Christmas! Just the tonic to give you the spirit of Christmas. A mass of wooden huts, many offering hearty, and, I'm pleased to say, stonking good food! Wait till you small them, totally irresistible! Love it! Good fun, great atmosphere, free local entertainment, and yummy stools. Does what it says on the tin.. Caught the Christmas spirit, yay!

A lovely welcoming church. Not only is this a beautiful ancient church building with magnificent stained glass windows but there is also a fabulous cafe run by a social entrepreneur called Sarah. I recommend the pistachio chocolate cake with a a cappuccino. The church services are very welcoming and an opportunity to explore the meaning of life itself.

A stunning church which is steeped in amazing history. Beautiful Stained Glass Windows and the freedom to explore the church. Wonderful Cafe/Coffee Shop inside which is well worth a visit for refreshments in the settings of an incredible building with a huge part of British History which happened right there!

Absolutely love this church and the stained glass here which they have a leaflet that provides more details. The volunteers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the church. And there is a wonderful cafe in the church called Sarah's Cafe. Worth visiting if you are in Kingston.

Stopped into this beautiful church today as there was a sign outside saying church cafe open, so with my daughter we went inside. The cafe was lovely and we had a cup of tea, a hot chocolate and a slice of millionaires cake 😁😁😁 I had a walk around the church and took some lovely pics too ☺️☺️☺️ Before we left, my daughter needed a toilet which the church also has, which was very clean and tidy 👍👍👍 Thank you so much ❤️

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Night at a Historic Gem!** I visited All Saints Church on for Rise Against’s in-store event, and it was an absolutely surreal experience! This 900-year-old church —where Saxon kings were once crowned—transformed into a punk-rock haven for the night, blending ancient history with electric modern energy. The band’s performance against the backdrop of medieval architecture, flint walls, and pale blue-painted ceilings created a vibe I’ll never forget. Why it’s 5 stars: 1. **Unique Atmosphere**: Where else can you mosh under 15th-century timber beams while gold-tinged angels watch from above? The acoustics in this space were incredible—every chord echoed powerfully . 2. **Seamless Organization**: Despite the crowd, entry was smooth, and the staff balanced reverence for the church with enthusiasm for the concert. Even the merch tables fit right in! 3. **Rich History Meets Modern Community**: Before the show, I explored the Saxon-era stone outlines in the churchyard and saw the oldest stone fragment (possibly from a 1,000-year-old cross!) . The church’s role as a community hub—hosting markets, cafes, and even fashion fundraisers —shows its vibrant spirit. 4. **Accessibility**: Centrally located at 14-16 Market Place, Kingston , with entrances on both sides and free admission for casual visits . Seeing Rise Against here felt like a secret gig in Westminster Abbey’s cooler, more rebellious cousin ! **A must-visit**—whether you’re a history buff, music lover, or just seeking soul-stirring architecture. Bravo, All Saints! 🙌

Very nice old church in the centre of Kingston. I went there today to look for the memorial of the Davidson family as mentioned on the clan Davidson website www.clandavidson.org.uk/resources/ After chatting with the Verger, he pointed me to the large memorial which is now positioned behind the cafe serving area. I managed to take some photos of the inscriptions which are still very legible. The memorials are for Duncan Davidson his wife Lucy and his brother Henry. It states their dates of death are 1799, 1777 and 1781 respectively. However the date on the memorial is MDCCCXXVII ie 1827. There is also a memorial to Elizabeth Caroline beloved wife of Henry Davidson aged 56 with a date of 4th March 1828.

Walked in, was greeted by a grumpy old man with a very bad attitude may be relative to his age and said to me “don’t just walk in here nothings free” then I responded I thought it was a public court then continued to spill nonsense. On top of that the court wasn’t even clean had leaves all over the court! Wouldn’t recommend purely based on customer service and court not being clean!

We visited the toddlers club there. Fantastic well thought out and friendlybstaff. Lots of toys very clean and great for the toddlers

Wonderful place right next to the river! Fair prices and very lovely staff! Would recommend to anyone!

The best place to get your kids into tennis in Kingston. Easy booking and no membership required. There is a good teacher for kids camp and weekly session. Other place in the area require waiting list. We just want to play tennis and this is the place to go!

Hi. For me Cadbury garden is very nice, sweet and very beautiful place ❤

Great courts, drying fast even after a heavy rain

Wonderful Saturday afternoon, not too crowded.

Well it's a bridge!! Across the Thames at Kingston-Upon-Thames (surprisingly!). The picture provides a great side-on view but once on the bridge itself you can see the clever design that allows people on the bridge to get off at either end - stunning ingenuity!. And even more so since there is even a similar facility for horses and those new fangled motorised carriages! Don't miss it!

This is such a beautiful area to just come and chill. If I could sit here for hours, I would.

Beautiful riverside walk. It runs parallel to good restaurants and the riverside. It’s perfect in summer with ducks and swans. You can have a quiet time or a groupie time along the river bank of Thames. It’s lot better than the pictures

Great place to go with friends, Beautiful views definitely worth a visit. Nice restaurants around. Amazing activities to do such as hiring a boat.

The bridge is very effective and has been for a very long time. It conveys four standard traffic lanes and a bus lane at road level. This is very effective in making sure it doesn’t interact with river traffic as there is sufficient clearance to allow bit to continue seamlessly in tandem. On one side of the bridge Hampton Wick is very pleasant and is the gateway to some nice pubs and two parks. On the Kingston side it is home to soulless overpriced premises generally. With the lack of river crossings in London it serves a purpose but the two sides would probably be happier parted truth be told.

This bridge is a bridge in Kingston which is why it's called Kingston bridge. The bridge allows pedestrians and traffic to pass above the water whilst simultaneously allowing vessels to seamlessly navigate their way through the river Thames undisturbed. It's one of the bridges in Kingston and it looks as though it does everything it's meant to but I haven't studied bridges so that may be incorrect. As far as I'm aware it's here to stay which is useful and is probably why it's here anyway but just a thought? The only reason I'm leaving 3 stars is because it's a bridge at the end of the day but it is still quite a good one and does everything it should do. Just a final point, the moss near the bank looks slippy and wet so definitely approach with caution but in fairness that's not actually the bridge itself.

Yeap, it's definitely a bridge that gets you from point A to point B without getting wet.

Nice Centre (shopping mall) in Kingston UK with different shops, and restaurants. Love the pistachio gelato 🍧 and Apple Store is well equipped.

I was extremely impressed with this mall. its got a great range of units from clothing to restaurants. Access throughout is brilliant its perfect for disabled users. The layout flies really well creating a vibrant and fresh feel. The cleanliness is spotless throughout also. Fenwick is a good store to visit. And if you want a coffee I recommend McDonald's on lower floor as its very quiet.

Kingston upon Thames is a charming riverside town that blends historic character with modern convenience. Known for its rich royal heritage it was once a coronation site for Saxon kings. Kingston boasts beautiful architecture, a vibrant town center, and a lovely stretch of the Thames ideal for riverside walks or boat trips. The shopping is a major draw, with a mix of high street brands, independent boutiques, and a bustling market. Dining options are diverse, from cozy cafes to upscale restaurants, and there’s a strong arts presence, anchored by the Rose Theatre.

Bentalls Shopping Centre is a great place for a relaxed shopping trip. There’s a wide range of stores, from high-street favourites to more premium brands, all under one roof. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, and there are plenty of food options nearby for a quick bite or a proper meal. Always a reliable stop for shopping in Kingston.

The Bentall Centre is a fantastic shopping destination! With a wide variety of stores, from high-end fashion to everyday essentials, there's something for everyone. The layout is spacious and easy to navigate, making shopping a breeze. I particularly enjoyed the selection of dining options available, perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the staff in the shops are always friendly and helpful. Plus, the location in the heart of Kingston adds to its appeal. I highly recommend visiting the Bentall Centre for a great shopping experience!

Very nice big and airy shopping mall in the centre of Richmond on Thames lots of great shops and restaurants just waiting to be discovered. I am impressed!

The Bentall Centre in Kingston is honestly such a comfortable and pleasant place to spend time, especially on a rainy day. I love that it’s completely covered, so you can shop around without worrying about the weather. It’s warm, bright, and has that cozy feeling that makes you want to stay longer. There’s a really good mix of shops,from big name brands to smaller boutiques where you can find something a bit different. I can always find what I need, whether it’s clothes, gifts or something for the house. The layout is easy to walk through, and it never feels too crowded, even on busy weekends. One thing I always notice is how clean everything is. The toilets are spotless and the baby changing rooms are honestly some of the best I’ve seen in any shopping centre. It’s clear that they take cleanliness and comfort seriously. I also really like that there are nice places to sit, grab a coffee, or just take a break between shops. The cafes inside make the whole experience even better. The Bentall Centre isn’t just for shopping. it’s one of those places where you can relax, enjoy your time, and forget about the weather outside. Definitely one of my favourite spots in Kingston..

Nice. You’d probably stand in and go back to the past and try to image horses drawn carriages and beautiful ladies dressed in elegant clothes. Just in front of the bridge there is the crowned stone, the stone where it is said were crowned the 7 kings of England during middle age.

Apparently the oldest bridge in London and one of the oldest in the country, built around 1175, it spans the Hogsmill River just before it drains into the Thames. You wouldn’t really notice it if you walk or drive over it, but walk just down the path and it’s an interesting bridge to look at. There are plenty of nice restaurants and pubs by the river here, so the bridge is something interesting to look at whilst you go for a drink or bite to eat in Kingston.

The age and history to this bridge is remarkable. It's right next to the coronation stone and we'll worth a visit if you enjoy your history. Disabled access is good with a safe pedestrian crossing.

Built in 1175, replacing an earlier bridge built by the Saxons. It’s the oldest bridge in London. You can see the original medieval part on the downstream side with the later bring additions above. Still in everyday use with cars and buses going over it,

Stumbled upon Clattern Bridge in Kingston upon Thames – what a hidden gem! Dating back to around 1175, this medieval marvel over the Hogsmill River is one of England’s oldest intact bridges, still buzzing with traffic and history. The clattering hooves of old inspired its name, and with the river flowing gently below and flowers blooming nearby, it’s a perfect spot for a quick, enchanting photo op. Worth a detour if you’re exploring London’s southwest – timeless charm in the heart of the city! #ClatternBridge

I've passed through Kingston so many times and never ready explored the history. This time I was able to walk around a bit and found some interesting things including the Clattern Bridge which dates back to the 12th century, around 1175. It is the oldest bridge in London which is still in use and crosses the Hogsmill river a tributary of the Thames.

Casual afternoon, enjoy your relaxation

a lovely local museum with friendly staff and a lot of artifacts from kingston's history. as someone extremely interested in muybridge's work it's lovely to see the rotating art exhibits inspired by his works every year! the staff are very kind and will answer any questions you have for them, if you're in the area and it's open it's definitely worth popping in to learn about the history of this beautiful town.

Connected to Kingston library, it is a small but a charming little museum with some interesting historical artifacts on Sunday. There is a small art gallery on the first floor. The volunteer at the desk was welcoming and happy to have a chat. We worth a visit if you are in Kingston and some time to spare.

Great little museum. I've lived in Kingston for most of my life and have only just visited. Don't wait as long as I did!

It's small museum. It opens only 3 day of week from Thursday to Saturday . Admission is free. We visited on Saturday, there was no queue and museum was almost empty. Reception staff is friendly. The museum's holdings include 120 Martinware ceramics, some of which are on display. The art gallery on the first floor of the museum hosts a changing programme of exhibitions as well as talks and events.

Interesting, quirky, and in a lovely, old building. Interesting exhibitions are held in the first-floor gallery. A nice little shop too.

Amazing little museum, well worth a visit 😊. You won't be disappointed 👍👍👍👍

I have known this museum for many years, especially when l was doing my BA at Kingston university. It has been a source of inspiration. A lovely collection of local history, again there is always some new exhibitions organized,as well as various events, which is worth looking out for. Definitely worth a visit.

My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.

I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.

What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!

Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!

Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.

This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

Coronation Clock Tower by the entrance to Waitrose car park. Seems to well maintained, very clean given the amount of buses that drive past day after day.

Nice clock tower.

Good

Visited on the 1100th anniversary of Athelstan's coronation. Nice to be a peripheral part of the celebrations. The Stone itself is always worth a visit.

Awesome a stone with a huge historical interest. Yes its not big but its the original stone used in the coronation of King's and Queens. This is well worth a visit even if you can't stand the Monarchy as its a portal to our past that gas affected us all in some way. I thought its good its free great disabled access too.

The Coronation Stone is an ancient sarsen stone block which is believed to have been the site of the coronation of seven Anglo-Saxon kings.

If you want to see the relocated coronation stone for some pivotal Anglo-Saxon kings who established England as the longest standing unitary nation state, this small parcel of land between Kingston Guildhall and the police station is the place to visit.

This stone was used during the coronation of Seven Saxon Kings from 900 – 979 AD

Nice historical story but not worth a special trip, if passing by , stop read the story of the kings and continue.

Interesting piece of history

You will find a monument to Queen Anne (1665-1714) just in front of St. Paul's Cathedral. This is the work of Richard C. Belt (1884-86) replacing an earlier statue of Anne by Francis Bird (1712). What you see is marble statue of Queen Anne in robe wearing a gilded crown. She holds a Royal sceptre in her right hand and orb in her left. Anne is standing on a pedestal surrounded by symbolic figures representing Britannia, France, Ireland and North America. You can walk around and see all from up close. Worth a moment or two before or after your visit inside St. Paul's Cathedral.

Nice statue which caused comment when erected as faced away from the church and led to the following poem:- "Brandy Nan, Brandy Nan, They've left you in the lurch, Facing towards the gin shops, With you back towards the church"

Fantastic place... love to go there every time

Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland between 8 March 1702 and 1 May 1707. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, the kingdoms of England and Scotland united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death in 1714.

Great setting for the statue, needs a clean though

Its a shame it was closed this time I was willing to pay to enter the Cathedral, but its ok, the square with the statue is great. In good days always busy. It is feast to the eye to see the art!

The backdrop for this statue. St Paul's Cathedral is a magnificent architectural achievement by Christopher Wren. This statue is a reproduction of the original by the master Sculptor Francis Bird who created the original in 1712. This now languishes down in Holmhurst Sussex and is being looked after by English Heritage. In 1885 Richard Belt somehow persuaded the relevant people at that time to take down Francis Bird's masterpiece and let him create a reproduction of the original. Whilst I am not saying Richard Belt is an able and creative sculptor it is widely recognised Francis Bird's original is the superior sculpture. The finesse and detail simply is not there with the present statue. Francis Bird's original should be restored and replaced in it's rightful place with St. Paul's Cathedral as the backdrop. Richard Belt's reproduction would cut a very fine sight in any of our beautiful London Parks.

Excellent market stalls selling everything from cheese to macaroons, cake and coffee to bacon rolls. Unfortunately the hours until 1pm are not accurate. I went at 12:40 and you couldn’t buy most things because they were all packing the stalls down, and the stall selling sausage sandwiches was already closed which was super disappointing. The guy running the stall said “well we all want to get on with our day don’t we” Should really be 12:30 closing time on the website. So marking down a star.

We've been going to the farmer's market for over 13 years now. I think this mornings was the busiest we've seen it for a while. Highly recommend the brekkie from Cento Uno - delicious!

Wonderful place. We discovered a marvellous shop of The Baking Party for astonishingly delicious and homemade patisserie. Those passion fruit meringue pies are now my favourite 😻

Great, if you eat meat, fish or are vegetarian. If you are vegan and gluten-free, I wouldn’t bother. Excluding sauces, chutneys etc to eat at home, there were only 2 vegan options in the whole market: a vegan sausage roll - too small for it’s £4 price so I didn’t try it (and I don’t remember the name of the company - sorry!) and a very delicious & moist chocolate pecan brownie (£2.95) by The Baking Party. The latter was so delicious, I didn’t take a photo before it was gone!

Awesome when it’s on, beautiful road and atmosphere

For covid they closed the road and had sanitiser stations at both ends. Shame people do not understand 2mtrs. A great selection of food stalls some a bit pricy with Waitrose down the road. We bought ginger, olives, bread and sausage roles for lunch. Worth a visit once a month. Park further away and walk but check restrictions. 17 June 2023. No more "ginger man", mainly speciality food stalls. I visit for the spicy chutney stall.

An amazing local farmers market. Would definitely recommend 😎
