Events in Kingston Upon Thames

“I’ve been seeing Mika over the past few years. I had problems with my lower back which has not resolved and more recently with my left shoulder. Mika is a fantastic physio who I would 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.”

“Had a fantastic meal here. The staff were warm and attentive without being pushy, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and everything came out quickly and fresh, chef Ahmed is very attentive and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Brilliant service from the Kingston team, repaired my beloved tent and lent me the tools to deal with a bike puncture that happened just as I arrived. Really knowledgeable team that are familiar with the kit they sell. Couldn't resist picking up some more camping accessories while I was there, always worth the investment with Alpkit.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Great German food and beer (Paulaner and Erdinger). We came to see the River Culture Festival, not easy to get a table on terrace (also cannot book a table in terrace - first some first serve), so we sit inside at the beginning but then we eventually got a table. We had currywurst, black forest and apple strudel, Oh my God all are delicious! We definitely will come back one day for beautiful river view on the terrace and the food.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Megan’s is a lovely place with a great vibe from the moment you walk in. The team is incredibly friendly and makes you feel comfortable straight away. The setting works perfectly for families, friends, couples, and even pets, which makes it really special. We came in for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food — fresh, tasty, and well presented. A special mention to Kaveri, whose cheerful and attentive service made our visit feel happy and relaxed. The little goodbye surprise at the end was a nice touch and definitely made us want to return.”

“I went to Giggling Squid – Kingston upon Thames for my birthday. It wasn’t busy as it was a weekday, and I absolutely loved it! The staff were so polite, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was calm with beautiful décor — lovely colours, chandeliers, and paintings. Everything was very clean and stylish, including the toilets. The seafood dishes were delicious, and although I had the lamb shank which wasn’t my favourite, it was still tasty. Perfect place for nice birthday photos and a great dining experience!”

“Exceptional customer service from the lady who was manning the ladies changing rooms on a busy bank holiday weekend. She was extremely knowledgeable about the stock, made helpful recommendations and went above and beyond to help customers.”

“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”

“Very nice Thai food in a slightly quieter street in Kingston. We were the first people in on a Saturday evening, so the service was very prompt and friendly. We ordered Pad Thai, Grilled Chicken and plain Jasmine Rice — along with a Tiger Lager and some Jasmine Tea. Pad Thai was very nice, with not much spice, and they did give you the option to add heat with chilli flakes which were on the side of the plate. The grilled chicken had lovely flavour with nice crispy bits of skin, but the salad was fairly spicy. Definitely recommend if you're into Thai or other Asian cuisines.”

“Did the unlimited tapas, and paid the extra £5 for the full range of items. Our server was excellent, I cannot remember his name but he was very friendly! We were also in the time range for happy hour, so we got two 2-for-1 cocktails each alongside our meal. We then had about 4 rounds of food, which saved us about £100ish in total. My stand out dishes were the cheese breads with the garlic, the hot honey halloumi, the popcorn squid, the black bean quesadillas, and also the chicken wings were excellent!”

“I went to this place in July to try on a shirt and I was served by a horrible woman, I think she was the manager from what I gathered as she was talking down to her colleagues etc. I was asking about the returns policy because I wanted to see how it would like with my suit at home and she said I couldn’t return it? So I left the shirt and she was so rude about it, to the point where she started ignoring me! then thought ahhh I won’t go back there again but then gave it another try on Friday just gone as I was in a last minute panic so it was my last resort and Martin was a godsend, he was so accommodating, he essentially created a fashion montage for me and my two friends which really made the whole experience so fun! He could see I was struggling with making a decision and kept the store open for a bit longer just so I didn’t feel under pressure. I think all stores need a Martin, he turned a negative experience into such a positive one! Managed to get my tux in time, the store managed to send it for alterations and get it back to us a day earlier than expected!”

“Couldn't have asked for better service, food and accommodation for the weekend of my sister's wedding. Eanna and Lara were attentive and very professional. The venue was immaculate and everyone had a wonderful time. 10/10 would recommend the queen's head for wedding receptions!”

“The Canbury Arms on Canbury Park Road in Kingston upon Thames. A superb offering from the Young's stable. The service and interaction from and with the staff is from the top draw! A good offering from the keg, covering many tastes. There are also three cask ales on offer, including a couple from the Surrey Hills Brewery. A wonderful airy dining area and a couple of 'secret' patios. All great fun and lovely cold beer to boot. There is also a discreet, private dining area upstairs, ideal for business meetings, celebrations and the like. A must visit!!”

“Excellent customer service. A beautiful choice of wine and tasty beer.”

“We had Nikesh doing our property visit today. He accommodated our request of date and time for the visit with no problem, confirmed exact time of visit the day before, which was very helpful. He arrived perfectly on time as agreed, completed checks swiftly and efficiently. Nikesh was very friendly and very respectful of our space.”

“Its a great place, a bit rough around the edges but lovely atmosphere, good buzz, really friendly staff and people. Drinks are super cheap. Need to normally be a member, but they also have occasional non member events like the beer festival.”

“I was looked after by Paige she was very friendly, making me and my partner feel very comfortable. The food was also amazing I will be coming back.”

“Really great customer service - staff are super lovely and helpful. Would defo ship here again.”

“Big fan of this place. Always friendly and they make great bubble tea. They also recently renovated and have a great and wide selection of food, drinks, crockery etc. definitely worth a visit.”

“Wonderful food, the best seabass I have had in a while! Also would highly recommend the festive panettone bread and butter pudding”

“Thank you to the staff for being gracious tonight when one of our party unexpectedly experienced a medical issue. We are very grateful for local places who care about local people. Food was top notch and the service was great. Thanks!”

“Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the drinks. Didn't try the food though but lots of dif areas and spacs to drink”

“Excellent gem of a place. Constantly stock change so keep looking regularly. Staff really helpful and friendly. They do deliver for a small charge. 10/10”

“Great location, very close to the university. The staff is really friendly and helpful! Everything feels modern and comfortable. Rooms can get a bit warm on sunny days, but it's a minor issue in an otherwise very enjoyable stay ♡”

“A big shout out at the Kingston upon Thames store; Zoe, Shreya, Jasmine and Maeve were awesome, super helpful and superb ambassadors of the UNIQLO brand - thank you!”

“Love new building! All refurbishment works made Penrhyn Road such a nice place to study!”

It offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in various business-related fields such as business management, finance, accounting, marketing, entrepreneurship, and more. The business school is known for its focus on practical, industry-relevant education and its strong links with businesses and organizations.”

“This place changed hands recently (late 2023), so the previous photos and reviews are no longer relevant. It is still a Korean restaurant, now called Yami. It now has Korean BBQ, Sushi, Korean fried Chicken, Bibimbap etc. It does lack some dishes the old place had (no Gimbap or udon soups) but is still good food and inexpensive. £20 for half a fried chicken and Bibimbap.”
