Take a gorgeous riverside walk down to Kingston. It will take a few hours and you can take in the extended Bushy Park, the golf estate and the riverside properties before relaxing in the Kingston shopping area over a cup of tea or a pint.

I walk through Bushy Park to Kingston. A bustling town on the River Thames. Shopping, local theatre, restaurants, and a friendly lively atmosphere.

Discover The historic town of Kingston upon Thames. Kingston was called Cyninges tun in AD 838, Chingestune in 1086, Kingeston in 1164, Kyngeston super Tamisiam in 1321 and Kingestowne upon Thames in 1589. The name means 'the king's manor or estate' from the Old English words cyning and tun. It belonged to the king in Saxon times and was the earliest royal borough.[2] The first surviving record of Kingston is from AD 838 as the site of a meeting between King Egbert of Wessex and Ceolnoth, Archbishop of Canterbury.[3] Kingston lay on the boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia, until in the early tenth century when King Athelstan united both to create the kingdom of England. Probably because of the town's symbolic location, several tenth-century kings were crowned in Kingston: Æthelstan in 925, Eadred in 946 and Æthelred in 978. Other kings who may have been crowned there are Edward the Elder in 902, Edmund in 939, Eadwig in 956, Edgar in about 960 and Edward the Martyr in 975.
