Kingston University is located in the historic market town of Kingston upon Thames, a Royal Borough within greater London. Students can access the attractions of the capital very easily (25 minutes by train), but escape its hustle and bustle to live in the leafy suburbs with easy access to parks and outdoor activities. Kingston's café culture provides plenty of choice for meeting friends. Lively trendy bars, traditional pubs, restaurants, gyms, a 14-screen cinema, 16-lane bowling alley, a fantastic array of shops including a large indoor mall featuring the UK's top retailers makes the Kingston area particularly appealing to students. In 2007 the London Metropolitan Police stated 'Kingston is among the most affluent boroughs in London with one of the lowest crime rates in the capital.'
