Kingston University

Kingston upon Thames (30 minutes south west from London Waterloo) has a prime location amidst London’s south western suburbs. Dotted around the town, from the borders of Wimbledon Common to seconds from the high street, the university has a definite presence in the town. The resulting effect of the various campuses is a feeling that Kingston is very much a student enclave.

Summing up Kingston, however, is not an easy task, for each campus contains a unique and separate spirit that reflects the students that study there. A bonus of Kingston, therefore, is that you can move from one campus to the next, and experience a variety of ‘Kingstons’.

Famous alumni of Kingston include novelist Nick Hornby, British badminton star Gail Emms, rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio, and footballer Graeme Le Saux.
