Thames Riverside walk overlooking Kingston bridge
Sunset by the riverside, Kingston Upon Thames.
Kingston riverside is an oasis hidden away in Kingston-upon-Thames, and boasts amazing view of the river.
Take in the stunning views as you take a relaxing walk along the riverside path that gently meanders alongside the Thames.

When River Thames runs though Kingston... This is a view on the river at the end of Canbury Gardens, which is 18mins away from Kingston station. There's a rowing club next to it, so you would see people training or rowing. Water birds is everywhere. A small and chilling neighbour in the day, and pop music played in the night by teens who either partying on boat or in the gardens. For me, it's not worth going unless you're around Kingston. To access, walk south after exit Kingston station for 13mins till you reach the river, then go north along the river for the river view.
Beautiful view in Zone 6 #exploreLondon #Green

The room was sooo hot we had to open the windows and get a fan to be some what comfortable. It was still stuffy and there was a smell in our room. The room was clean. Definitely more dated than the pictures looked online. The staff was all unhelpful and rude. I interacted with maybe 8 staff members ...

Honestly a very large room for London. Not much of a view from my room but a good trade off as it made the room very quiet at night. Having access to a small kitchen was really nice. 24/7 front desk and they were all really friendly

Verified traveller

Kept waiting at reception. The bed was like sleeping on a bouncy castle. We could hear every word of conversation in the next room. Breakfast was cold and not well organised. Hot water in the room was scolding hot.
