Kingston
Student city guide to Kingston
Book with confidence
If you don’t get the grades, can’t get a visa or are deferring your studies, don’t worry. You can still book with confidence when you book with iQ. T&Cs apply.
Kingston is an energetic town with a prime location on the River Thames. Entertainment is found at the Rose Theatre, the 15-screen ODEON cinema and a bowling alley. It’s also home to the legendary Banquet Records shop which hosts regular in-store gigs and organises club nights in the city which attract big names and emerging talent alike.
It’s packed with history and located near beautiful countryside. Take a boat trip down the river for a chilled day out at a riverside pub, or if you fancy some retail therapy there’s plenty of that, with two shopping centres. Culture seekers can enjoy plenty of museums, galleries and gigs across town.
