Description

The town of Kingston-upon-Thames, a short railway ride away from the center of London, is a mixture of old and new with a daily open-air fruit, vegetable, and fish market as well as major chain stores, supermarkets, a shopping mall, night clubs, and multi-screen cinemas. The main campus is situated near two railway stations, 17 minutes away from the center of London, and a 12 minute walk from a boat service to Hampton Court Palace. The nearness of London, together with the proximity of Richmond Park, Chessington Zoo and theme park, Kew Gardens, and Windsor make Kingston-upon-Thames an ideal place for study.
