This apartment in Kingston upon Thames puts you close to the town centre and the River Thames, with shops and cafes right on your doorstep. It’s part of a 1960s block – the kind of architecture that splits opinion, though it’s becoming more popular again. The interiors are simple, and it's on the smaller side, but you’ll have everything you need for a practical stay. Plus, there are shared gardens to enjoy when the sun’s out. All in all, it’s a handy base in one of London’s greenest areas.
