The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, as the borough of Kingston is known in full, is the smallest London borough in terms of population, with just 169,000 people, and it also has a population density that is slightly below the London average.
Geographically, Kingston sits in the South West of London, with much of the borough protruding out into neighbouring Surrey. The former Surrey County Hall building is situated in the town of Kingston, which is also the main commercial centre of the borough. Officially the Royal Borough of Kingston on Thames by ancient prescriptive right, the right to use the royal prefix was confirmed by King George V in 1927. Kingston itself derives its name from the "King's Stone", which was used for a number of coronations in the first millennium A.D.
Kingston faces many of the same planning challenges as our experienced in neighbouring London boroughs, especially to do with pressures from individual householders wanting to extend their properties, combined with pressures from property developers.
In terms of transport, Kingston Borough faces many of the same challenges that are familiar with suburban areas around the world, namely the need to maintain good links with central areas of commerce and employment, together with the constant pressures of local road traffic. Kingston is one of only five London boroughs not to have any London Underground lines running through it, and although it doesn't have any tram or light rail services either, the borough is still served by eight mainline railway stations.
The road network in Kingston is well oriented towards (reasonably) easy access to the M25, whilst the A3 dual carriageway, which heads towards Southampton, runs through much of the borough.
