A coronation site for Saxon kings and formally incorporated as a borough in 1441, Kingston upon Thames stands on the River Thames in south-west London, carrying one of the oldest royal associations of any English town. Around 170,000 people live across the Royal Borough today.
New Malden is among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in the borough, drawing families across primary and secondary phases, while Surbiton has long been a school-competitive corner where parents begin researching places well before applications open. Norbiton and Kingston Vale fill out the residential spread between the town centre and Richmond Park's southern edge. South Western Railway services from Kingston and Surbiton stations reach London Waterloo in around twenty minutes.
