Kingston upon Thames

Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...

This route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Unfortunately, this Trail enters areas where dogs are prohibited, so please don't bring your four-legged friends along (unless you have someone with you who can wait with them outside these areas).

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Eden Walk on Union Street (KT1 1BL), just a two-minute walk away. Why not ride in by train to Kingston Railway Station, which is only five minutes away?

There are some fantastic events in Kingston's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Kingston's Visitor Information Kiosk.

There are public toilets available in the Bentall Shopping Centre, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.

Why not make a day of it and treat yourself with some retail therapy or take a stroll along the riverside. If you are a fan of history, you could even pay a visit to Hampton Court Palace, just a 10-minute drive away!
