Exploring 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.”

“Wow! An absolutely perfect neighbourhood Italian. Delicious, creative food with wonderful in-season ingredients, friendly staff and really good value for money. Wouldn’t change a thing. Already looking forward to my next visit”

“Had great customer service today from an employee I didn't catch the name of, but she gave me some great advice about wicking thermal base layers for a caving trip. I was on a tight budget and torn between two options she picked for me, she was very reassuring and gave me time to think about it which I really appreciated. Alvaro was very friendly and helpful as well, I'd definitely go back here in the future”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“I recently visited vape & shisha hub Kingston and I was genuinely impressed. The atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and welcoming—perfect for both seasoned vapers and curious beginners. The staff(sunny) were friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help me find exactly what I needed without being pushy. They had a wide selection of vapes, e-liquids, coils, and accessories. I especially appreciated the variety of flavors—everything from classic tobacco to exotic blends like lemon peach and passion fruit. They even let me sample a few before making a decision, which made the process easy and fun. Rating: ★★★★★”

“Amazing service from a lady called Katie so i told her as its difficult finding great customer service. Minute i walked in she was welcoming and friendly. Took her time to explain what would suit me and was very helpful and efficient. I ended up buying lots and she offered me a loyalty card too. I will definately return.”

“Very welcoming and well run. Lots of activities outside and in for all the different stages of development”

“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”

“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!”

“Great experience. Great selection of clothing.”

“Really good service from Howdens and special shout out for Becca who was helpful a throughout the process.”

“The Savanna Kingston is our favourite little shop when ever we feel a little homesick. The staff now are extremely helpful, friendly and very supportive...Thank u”

“friendly and kind staff, neat and tidy. way more better than seoul plaza tbh.”

“What an incredible find five minutes walk from the town centre. Very tastefully decorated in a minimalistic fashion. Everything looked freshly refurbished. The bedroom and en suite bathroom looked as though they had been recently decorated and were very nicely done. No expense had been spared. My only complaints were that the upstairs hallway was unbearably hot and nobody attended to the room whilst we were out. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful stay here. The available food was unusual and not as described on their website so be aware but it was still tasty and served its purpose of filling us up before we went out. There is onsite parking which consisted of two spaces and a disabled bay so they will be allocated on a first come first served basis. I believe that there is public parking nearby but cannot confirm.”

“Fantastic hotel in a quaint part of London. Was surprised to see that there we many restaurants around and a large variety of shops. Also, Andreina at the front desk was absolutely fantastic in helping us ensure that we had everything we needed for our stay. She was very accommodating and understanding of our travel requirements. Would highly recommend this hotel.”

“Really pleased with all the effort the community is putting into strengthening the 'community'. Our little one always tells us on a Friday night that she is 'excited' to go to 'Greek School'.!”

“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!!!”

“One of the best kept secrets! Tucked in the corner of the ground floor at John Lewis kingston is this fantastic clinic. I had the pleasure of having a HydraFacial Platinum with Kavanagh. The treatment was fantastic, totally relaxing, I was talked all the way through the process and the benefits to my skin. I loved every step and the following day received comments from Work colleagues on my glowing skin! 100% recommend a visit and I will definitely be booking my return visit soon!”

“Great School - Fantastic inclusion department”

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

“Agata and the team were just delightful. Thank you for all your help and support in finding my perfect dress. Took all the stress out of finding the perfect dress for a special occasion .”

“Recently stayed here for its fantastic location near to the station and all amenities, staff were extremely helpful and considerate going above and beyond. It’s cheap and cheerful and very clean as you would expect. When I couldn’t figure out how to work the elevator key one kind lady offered to come up with me to demonstrate. Others were also very approachable and more than happy to offer assistance. It’s so rare to find kind and responsive team members these days, they really made my stay and made us feel so welcome. Thank you to all the staff at Kingston Travelodge, it was truly a pleasure!”

“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.”

“Small, local and personal service.Great facilities for your child.”

“I was a little worried after reading previous reviews, but I needn't have been! Short walk from the station, greeted very warmly by Alizay who was an absolute joy. Given a choice of floors, so opted for 6 as figured it would be quiet. This is the business floor... Room was spotless, even a bit of a view from the window. No issues with getting in late after a gig, key card worked fine. I felt safe as a woman on my own. Comfy bed, great shower, and no rush to check out the next morning. Another lovely gent on reception. Would definitely stay again, easy quick walk to go look at some of the sights. Really can't find fault for the price.”

“Private lessons are great, but nothing replaces the experience of performing in a band setting. Being part of an ensemble teaches children how work towards a common goal and how to see the greater picture they're creating on the spot, which is invaluable for early developing brains. In BSOR children learn confidence, self expression, consideration, and musical discipline. They are surrounded by highly skilled tutors who take great pride in what they do. Songs are approachable, and the tutors always make sure everyone is equally challenged regardless of their skill level. Teaching at this school has been a privilege and a joy. Seeing the proud faces of parents watching their kids do something they love always put a smile on my face.”

“Wow!!! This is a fantastic and convenient spot to get sushi whenever you want it. This is because this sushi gourmet place has a large range of options and choice. The choices vary from the simplicity of a Nigiri to salads and big rolls. It has options of small and £10 boxes of nigiri and other sushi rolls and bigger portions of £20 that are more complicated rolls. It has deliveroo as takeaway and delivery service. However, it’s in Sainsbury’s in the centre right at the back of the store. This doesn’t mean that it has a bigger difference on this gourmet style and other Japanese restaurant. It only contains sushi and not brothers or other Japanese dishes as it’s only a Sushi Gourmet. When I go there I always get the nigiri rolls because they’re fresh and simple and also delicious. I’ve also been to other Japanese authentic restaurants and it’s different regarding the taste of the sushi because it’s not a chain but a single restaurant. However it’s not that big of a difference regarding freshness.”
