If you’ve moved to Kingston to study and you’re looking for something fun to do, here are five activities to help you fall in love with the area:
\n <\/p>\n

Stroll Through an Ancient Market <\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’re looking for a great way to spend an afternoon, take a leisurely stroll through the Ancient Market Place<\/a>. It has over 20 permanent stalls and the spirit of a bustling market from centuries ago. Close by is shopping-haven Bentall Centre, which was built in 1935. It has an atrium ceiling higher than the nave of Westminster Abbey!
\n <\/p>\n

Visit Old London Road<\/strong><\/h3>\n

David Mach’s toppling phone boxes named ‘Out of Order<\/a>’ is a must-see. This modern art installation on Old London Road is a site of 12 red telephone boxes, leaning against each other and falling over like dominoes. This peculiar artwork has been a tourist attraction since 1989.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

Visit Hampton Court Palace<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hampton Court Palace<\/a> is a Tudor Palace that dates back to 1236 and is one of the surviving palaces owned by Henry VIII. It’s situated a few miles from Kingston-upon-Thames Bridge and can be reached by train or bus. Visit this incredible building with its rich history and spectacular garden and river views for a lovely day out.

Embrace the Outdoors in Richmond Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spending a day in one of London’s eight Royal Parks is one of the best things to do in Kingston. Richmond Park<\/a> is a National Nature Reserve, and you’ll be mesmerised by the open spaces, animal and plant life and ancient trees.
