Engaging in Kingston Upon Thames

“Our daughter had a lovely experience at Katey’s House whilst we lived in Kingston. We felt that the staff cared deeply about our daughter there. Karolina’s warmth, responsiveness and professionalism was so palpable. We look forward to watch from afar to see what she continues to build.”

“They were very good at making sure we got the full experience even though we was late. they give you hints when your stuck and the workers are extremely nice especially gabby she was amazing. Highly recommend.”

“I had a brilliant time at this escape room. The puzzles were cleverly paced, the atmosphere was spot-on, and the whole experience felt immersive from start to finish. Annabel made it exceptional. She struck the perfect balance of warmth, energy, and professionalism, setting the tone from the moment we arrived. Her guidance added to the fun without ever giving too much away, and you could tell she genuinely wanted us to have a great time. I’d happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable escape room experience — and if you can, ask for Annabel.”

“The Pattern Cutting & Professional Sewing Techniques course was great. Paul Simonson is so knowledgable and shared that knowledge in an uncomplicated, easy manner. I learnt a lot in 2 short weeks and Phew. The other staff are great. Nina Hunt in the Short Course unit was so helpful and nice. Maureen in the Sewing department was so helpful and went above and beyond. Great place to study. Will definitely look at doing another course there. Ikwo 2015”

The business school is known for its focus on practical, industry-relevant education and its strong links with businesses and organizations.”

“My daughter has been at garden house for 18 months and has had a wonderful experience. From the moment she arrived she felt safe and loved going there. Some of her first words were her key workers who have all been amazing. Special mention to her current Key worker Geraldine and her original Tom, who she loves very much and who I trust completely to be kind, caring and understanding. Garden House also looked after us as a family when we most needed it and I will never forget it. Thank you all!”

“I cannot rate Masquerades highly enough my daughter loves it!! I saw her grow from being a shy little girl to a confident one who just glowed in class. They offer a real mix of singing dancing and acting which is great! 5 stars all round!!!”

“There’s an older Asian lady in the self checkout area, running around helping people and she’s brilliant, always so efficient even thought it’s always so busy.”

“Brilliant School with lovely staff! Mr. Edmonds is a great Head Teacher and Miss Luker is a very nice Deputy Head Teacher.”

“This is an excellent and inspiring college. There are many classes and activities you can do, a good eatery, and relaxing zones. Most of the staff here are friendly. I want to highlight some of them: A very lovely receptionist, Jackie, a friendly librarian, and helpful security staff, Cali. I would also like to mention teachers Petra Pinter and Emma Lucas. Petra Pinter creates incredibly engaging and dynamic lessons with many interesting exercises. Emma Lucas is a supportive and understanding teacher who always encourages students to do their best.”

“Ckyra has been an absolutely outstanding Vice President over the past two years. She is, without a doubt, the most active and in-person KSU staff member I’ve encountered, always visible and approachable on campus. Whenever my friends or I had an issue, no matter how big or small, she went out of her way to help us as best she could. What sets Ckyra apart is how much she genuinely considers everyone. She listens carefully, gives thoughtful advice, and exercises excellent judgment in every situation. Her dedication, fairness, and ability to balance different perspectives have made a real difference to student life. She doesn’t just do her job — she actively works to make the university experience better for everyone, whether it’s supporting students with concerns, improving services, or just being someone you know you can rely on. Ckyra’s energy, commitment, and empathy make her a role model for the KSU team and a true asset to the student body. Having someone like her representing us has made my time at university so much more positive and enjoyable. I can’t recommend her highly enough — she genuinely goes above and beyond.”

“A family business that go the extra mile. Having been to all the independent jewellers in the area looking for earrings for a special birthday present G&E were the only ones who offered to try to find something for me when they didn't have anything in stock. In the end they found me a choice of three, any which would have been perfect. Highly recommended for the personal touch and professionalism.”

“I recently finished booking an Africa experience with Yellow Zebra for early 2027. Sebastian, our Yellow Zebra Safari Specialist, put together a variety of options for review after listening to our wants and needs. Based on his first hand knowledge and experience, he guided us through developing and finalizing a once in a lifetime private tour for our group of 8. The tour includes time in Cape Town, Victoria Falls and 3 different safaris. During the non-pressured planning process, Sebasian was in constant communication with us and very responsive to any inquiries. Once booked, we were seamlessly introduced to Kristen from the Yellow Zebra’s Operation Team. Kristen was very helpful in finalizing the details of our trip and will support us during the trip. Sebastian still remained our main contact for any further pre-trip planning. The great service Yellow Zebra has provided, makes me very confident that we are going to have an awesome trip.”

“Hands down best coffee in Kingston. Lovely and friendly staff and efficient service, even on a very busy Sunday. Toastie was delightful! Would recommend!”

“Had a fantastic party for my son's 9th birthday. Angus was superb at making it fun, & controlling the kids! He was also very helpful and friendly & immediately built rapport. The kids all had a brilliant time & went home happily telling their parents how fab it was. Excellent company from start to finish. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks!”

“Wonderful independent jeweler. Had a problem with my watch. The man was very knowledgeable and polite. He had my watch working properly in just a few minutes! Extremely impressed! Thoroughly recommended!”

“We celebrated my son’s 2nd birthday here and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very first message, the coordination and communication were seamless — everything was handled with such care and professionalism. The team went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect, and their service on the day was outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and they made the whole celebration feel special and effortless. Our guests were impressed, and my son had the most wonderful time — truly a birthday to remember! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a well-organized, stress-free, and joy-filled event.”

“I had a repair to do on my bracelet and was nervous to hand it over as it was very sentimental to me but the service I received was exemplary and my mind was quickly put to ease by the manager, I think her name was Sima. The repair was promptly done and my bracelet was back in mint condition. Very happy with the service. Would use again.”

“Very nice playground, pretty big with lots of equipment. Suitable from young kids to big kids and adults that haven't grown up! Ots got soft flooring so safe and some challenging equipment to keep interest going. All areas are fenced in so safe.”

“My husband and I have been so impressed by the customer service we have received from Chisholm Hunter Kingston. My husband initially got my engagement ring from them. Following a hold up from the courier, Jack went above and beyond to ensure it was delivered on time. We then got our wedding bands from the Kingston store and a gift for my husband too. Victoria has been amazing in helping me choose the right gift and make sure it was perfect for him. Victoria has been super speedy on emails and making sure she kept me up to date on delivery and finance options too. I never felt any sense of pressure or rush. Victoria was always friendly, happy and patient. Everyone we came into contact with at the Kingston branch were super helpful and friendly. We would definitely come back again.”

“Wonderful primary school, open-minded and creative.”

“Amazing school and good teachers”

“Think Consultancy exceeded all my expectations in helping me secure a mortgage! From the initial consultation to the final approval, their team, in particular Andi, demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication every step of the way. They provided clear guidance, answered all my questions promptly, and navigated the complex process with ease. Their personalised approach made me feel valued as a client, and I truly appreciate their commitment to finding the best solution tailored to my needs. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking mortgage assistance and incredible support”

“Great local gym, smallish but friendly atmosphere and the other members are amicable and warm. Highly recommend for those looking for a less intense and calmer gym space.”

“My daughter had started her nursery life at a different nursery at age 2. Despite months passing, she wasn’t able to fully adapt. Based on our friends’ recommendation, we decided to try the Bright Horizons Elm Grove branch — and the result was a wonderful surprise for us. Within just one week, our daughter settled in and now enjoys attending nursery. I believe this is thanks to the staff here, who have been incredibly successful in emotionally supporting her and building a strong bond. Thank you so much to the Bright Horizons Elm Grove team!”
