    The church is lovely and quiet. It really beats the hustle of the town. The café in the church is clean and welcoming and not to pricey. Lovely jacket potato.

    This is a lively riverside town especially on a summers day with a pedestrianised centre and riverside of cafes and bars. Cross over the bridge and go left along the riverside path and you have a lovely walk into Hampton bringing you to the front of Hampton Court Palace. If you stay on the town side of the river going right, you walk by the river to Teddington Lock. There is nothing nicer on a sunny day than to be around water and boats unless of course it is sitting in a beer garden with a pint!

    Tuesday afternoon 22nd August and we took a stroll around this historic old market in the heart of Kingston.

    Back in the day this was once a bustling market filled with fruit, vegetables, fish and other stalls. It is now predominantly street food stalls.

    The triangular shaped market is surrounded by beautiful old Tudor style buildings, mostly shops, worth walking around just to look at the buildings and their ornate fronts.

    At the bottom, larger end of the Market stands the impressive Grade II listed, Market House with it's two tall towers, one at each side of the building. It was built in 1840 and served as the town hall until 1935.

    The bowed front entrance has balcony above it with a stone balustrade. Standing at the front of the balcony is the guilded statue of Queen Anne, which overlooks the Market.

    At the top end of the Market, the apex of the triangle, stands the Shrubsole Memorial. This statue pays tribute to Henry Shrubsole who was mayor of Kingston on three occasions.

    This is a place we have seen in a lot of movies and pics. Time required at this place is just 10-15 minutes, only to click pics and then you may go to the town market & riverside which are nearby.

    This is a great free place to just “be” with a friend. We sat on a bench along the river and had a delightful afternoon chatting. It is fun to watch boats as well as people walking and cycling on the path to Richmond. There is a bandshell/gazebo that has events in the summer for free. Bring a blanket and it’s your evening sorted.

    Quaint old bridge that has stood the rest of time in Kingstown on Thames. It spans a little canal / river that joins the Thames.

    The place is a refurbishment by Kingston Council of a run down piece of brownscape and is today a lovely place to visit. It is well laid out, has lots of seating, flowers, greenery and is an excellent place to take children. There is a cafe on the corner of the garden.

    Well done Kingston Corporation.

    There is a good selection of foodstuffs but, apart from the excellent eggs and sausage stalls, it is a bit expensive. Nevertheless it provides a useful service to the community and should be supported.
