Not far from Kingston busy shopping centre and market stalls is the 12th-century Clattern Bridge, set in picturesque setting, one of the oldest road bridges in England.  It is said the name refers to the clattering of horse drawn carriages passing over it in the past. One of Kingston's many pieces of living, working history - a beautiful old bridge over the River Hogsmill  (The Hogsmill river, is a globally rare chalk river) the bridge crosses the river in the centre of Kingston. Easy to locate, by the Rose Theatre and opposite the police station. Considering this bridge is between 800-900 years old, it blends in well with the modern developments in Kingston. Must advise a quick walk down the pathway through the gate to experience the full picture of Medieval Kingston meeting modern Kingston. Very unobtrusive, a plaque on a wall, and in between 2 buildings.  The Coronation Stone, now sited close to the river in Kingston, is believed to have been used for the coronation of 7 Saxon kings in the 10th century, leading to the name of the "Kings town" eventually becoming "Kingston". Well worth a visit if you happen to be in Kingston.

Discover The historic town of Kingston upon Thames. Kingston was called Cyninges tun in AD 838, Chingestune in 1086, Kingeston in 1164, Kyngeston super Tamisiam in 1321 and Kingestowne upon Thames in 1589. The name means 'the king's manor or estate' from the Old English words cyning and tun. It belonged to the king in Saxon times and was the earliest royal borough.[2] The first surviving record of Kingston is from AD 838 as the site of a meeting between King Egbert of Wessex and Ceolnoth, Archbishop of Canterbury.[3] Kingston lay on the boundary between the ancient kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia, until in the early tenth century when King Athelstan united both to create the kingdom of England. Probably because of the town's symbolic location, several tenth-century kings were crowned in Kingston: Æthelstan in 925, Eadred in 946 and Æthelred in 978. Other kings who may have been crowned there are Edward the Elder in 902, Edmund in 939, Eadwig in 956, Edgar in about 960 and Edward the Martyr in 975. The Bentals shopping centre on Wood Street KT1- What travellers are saying Great choice of shops both in the shopping centre and in the department store as well as surrounding streets on it's door steps as well as cafes and restaurants for all tastes. Easy to find access and enjoy this big mall has everything you need in shopping right in the centre of Kingston on Thames. ... has great inside and outside architecture that if in the area then one must visit An imposing site that shines like a beacon across the city centre and long may it continue to be such a great shopping experience

With K-Town, you don’t have to go all the way to South Korea to taste Korea. With your taste buds, walk the streets of Jeolla Province, home of K-Town founders, and enjoy its rich and sumptuous dishes, keeping the traditional taste as well as introducing modern style of Korean food. If this is your first time at a Korean BBQ then this is a great place to start for a fab meal, loads of choice. Very friendly and helpful staff who will happily talk you through the process. Great value for money. Situated opposite New Malden train station so very easy to get to. This is as close to the local buffet style Korean BBQ spots as you can get. You grill your own stuff, plenty of side dishes, above average quality meat, at unlimited quantity, all for under £24. If you're tired of Korean bbq in London where you have to spend crazy amounts of money just to feel remotely full, think again this place will change that view.
