Institute in Kingston Upon Thames

“Found this amazing shop in old London road…. A true authentic store selling unique clothes and gifts, with really great customer service . Well worth a visit”

“Exceptional! I had concerns about my car and wanted it checked. I called Fulfords and took it in the same day. They put it on the ramp and fully inspected. Then brought me to have a look and showed me what everything was. They clearly explained things and cause of the noise. Even came on a test drive with me to check as well! And no charge! Brilliant.”

“I’ve been coming here for years, because it’s such a friendly practice and they really do care about their patients. Linda my dentist has been amazing helping me with complex issues. I’ve also recently had botox injections in my jaw to prevent my teeth from clenching. It made such a difference I was able to come off pain killers, so I’m very grateful to Priya!”

“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”

“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.”

“Best dental experience I’ve had. Dr. Arthie and Nurse Lili were both extremely professional and friendly. Would strongly recommend them for anyone feeling nervous about going to the dentist as they help you to feel comfortable and explain the procedures and reasoning behind it as they go. Having had bad experiences with dentists in the past, this was definitely a breath of fresh air.”

“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”

“Nice river view, kind staffs, lift is a bit old and slow. Nice building overall. But closes pretty early and doesn’t open on the weekend ☹️”

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

“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.”

“We had heard from other people that pregnancy paternity test could be a complicated process, but Ultrasound Plus made it so easy and hassle-free. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and really understanding, guiding us through every step of the way. All the results came back quickly and accurately, leaving us feeling secure and confident in our decision!”

“My daughter loves coming to her dance class with Traceworks. I loved watching the class and seeing her beautiful dancing. The teacher was fantastic and overall I was very impressed.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Absolutely incredible midwives delivered our daughter a few years ago! Private rooms during labour and afterwards, clean, efficient nurses, doctors and midwives all throughout our time there. Would highly recommend!”

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

“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.”

“Came in to see a suit I’d seen online and to seek some advice. The wonderful Amy was quick to see me and answered all my questions, gave me some great advice and gave me so many options to try on. I didn’t buy anything but the care and attention she gave to helping me out in finding the right colour, fit and style really left a mark on me - she was so lovely, polite and helpful the entire time even after I’d expressed I wasn’t buying on the day. When I do buy she’ll be the first person I speak to! Thank you Amy!”

“I attended the Day Unit at Kingston Hospital at the end of last month for extensive oral surgery. I found the nurses, especially Kim, to be kind and compassionate. The surgeon, anaesthetist and the whole team were brilliant. I am exceptionally grateful. Thank you. David Paton”

“Bright Horizon Kingston (victoria road) is the best nursery. My daughter started going there when she was 9 months old. It has been amazing experience with managers Sue and Hema. They’ve been extremely cooperative and supportive. Staff members including Phoebe, Natasha, Olivia, Jenna and many others are excellent in their work. They take such good care of my little one. I am so relieved after dropping her to nursery. They keep me updated about all activities on app. They always respond when I ask anything on the app. They made us feel like a family and second home for my daughter. If I tell about favours that nursery does for us to my colleagues at work place and other people around, they always “which amazing nursery is this”. I aim to stay in Kingston only for this nursery. A happy mum, Ayesha”

“What an amazing team they have at kingston a and e. I can't fault a single person I met. They were caring, kind, charming and efficient. I was very impressed with the young occupational therapist I observed giving support and advice to a lovely lady and her daughter too. Well done Kingston and thank you Eva for the coffee and sandwiches!”
