One of our premier development clients St George, part of the Berkeley Group, took inspiration from Kingston’s epic history to create its ideal development – Royal Exchange. As we gear up for the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, let’s see what it’s like to live like a King.

The Berkeley treatment
Of course, if you walk out of your building you’ll have the best of Kingston on your doorstep. However at home, you still have a residents’ gym, screening room, 24-hour concierge, meeting room and beautiful residents’ courtyards to unwind in peace from the town centre’s hustle and bustle.
The royal connection
London’s Westminster Abbey has been the site of every coronation since 1066, but well before that, as many as seven Saxon Kings of England were crowned in the ancient market square in Kingston upon Thames. Whilst the Coronation on Saturday will be the first that many of us have ever witnessed in our lifetimes, London is already well-versed in the fanfare. With Hampton Court Palace and Royal Parks nearby, Kingston wears its royal history proudly.
Berkeley-upon-Thames
Placemaking is key with Berkeley. The idea is to understand the history, amenities and culture of an area before you build a development, so you’re bringing exactly the right mix to fit into the community. That means long-term success for the development and for the community it joins. Royal Exchange is the perfect example of this.
Kingston’s ancient market stalls have blossomed into a bustling town centre. Nestled up against the Thames, this town centre is surrounded by Royal parklands, picturesque river walks and world-class education. In the centre, there’s The Rose theatre; riverside pubs; retail’s name brands, boutiques and rising designers; all sorts of health and fitness services; and cuisine from just about everywhere…All Kingston’s town centre needed was some high-quality housing in the heart of it all.

East or West?
This development is the pride of a growing South West London hotspot. However, if you're looking in the other end of the Capital, there's a South East London development where King Henry VIII's finest ship was constructed. Read Coronation Collection: the riverside reigns supreme.
