Where do Kingston and surrounding areas locals go?
Richmond Park, Kingston
Richmond Park is amazingly beautiful and a great place to walk yourself and your dog. It feels like you're in the countryside, as you see green for miles even though you are in Kingston. Plus the park is full of deer and you can get close to them. Great place for cycling too.Read more

What locals say about Kingston and surrounding areas
“It's a friendly and upmarket spot with great links to London and beautiful parks and the Thames nearby.”
Jake
“I was born in Teddington in 1958. I now live in cornwall and realise how lucky I was as a child. We were not wealthy - but we went swimming in the outdoor pool, riding in the park and making dens on the bombsites on Church Road. My cousin and I were sent to the Abercorn Arms on a Sunday to get my Grandad back for dinner; you could hear him singing half way down the road. Yes, these are memories. I went back in 2012 and I still love Teddington. I will return one day.”
Amanda
“The history is fantastic and you really feel the amazing energy pulsing through your veins.”

Ivo Graham
After dismantling a barge, doxxing himself in the Doubletree, and blanking on the 1992 Ipswich Town crest (Taskmaster, Off Menu, University Challenge), comedian Ivo Graham ropes his audience into more chaos against the clock. “Humiliation’s your thing, right?” his brother asked him at Christmas, and, with the full existential ramifications of that still being processed, he’s lining up a show with more risk than ever before (NB: previous shows have broadly been quite low risk). Expect quizzes, tangents, and fluster!Read more
