Properties for sale in Kingston
Where the river meets royal parks
Kingston offers that elusive blend of riverside charm, excellent schools, and easy London access — all wrapped in a town centre that balances heritage architecture with high-end shopping and lively café culture.
Set on a scenic stretch of the River Thames and adjacent to Richmond Park, Kingston appeals to families, professionals and international buyers alike. The property landscape here is no less diverse. Period homes — from elegant Georgian townhouses to substantial Victorian villas — line leafy residential streets in areas like Coombe, Norbiton and Canbury. Riverside apartments and modern developments add a contemporary edge, while larger detached homes can be found in sought-after enclaves near Richmond Park and Coombe Hill Golf Club.
Kingston is also known for its outstanding education options, including Tiffin School, Kingston Grammar, a number of top-performing independents, and a university. The town is well provisioned, with the Rose Theatre, riverside dining, and a wealth of boutiques and high street names, including John Lewis. Abundant green space is another major draw, with Richmond Park, Bushy Park – which also houses Hampton Court Palace, a masterpiece from Tudor times – and the Thames Path offering walking, cycling and leisure opportunities on the doorstep, and the gorgeous Surrey Hills further afield.
Commuters benefit from fast rail connections to London Waterloo, while local bus routes and nearby A3 access make travel across London and Surrey simple. Heathrow is around 30 minutes by car, adding to Kingston’s appeal for those with international ties.
Kingston continues to attract a wide pool of qualified buyers, particularly those relocating from central London in search of more space and nature without losing their city comforts. Its strong schooling, varied housing stock and enduring charm make it one of the most appealing outer London boroughs for both quality of life and long-term investment.
