| KINGSTON
TOWN CENTRE
Just over the river from the Chase Lodge Hotel is the Royal
Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Although part of Greater
London and just a short train ride from the West End, it's
also a town in its own right. Steeped in history, seven
Anglo-Saxon kings were crowned here in the tenth century
and you can still see the Coronation Stone, which is now
one of the Borough's treasured possessions. Yet this is
also a modern town centre with excellent shops and facilities. |
