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

Room was dated and scratches on walls, dirty carpet, high tub to take a shower, exhaust fan did not work in bathroom, and every door slammed so loud woke us up all the time. Food and drinks were good and location.

9/10 Wonderful! (4,943 reviews)
Room was well appointed, clean but very small. Bed was 4ft in width and had one side flush with the wall. It is not really suitable for a couple.

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.
