About time! The current app is terrible!

It’s been terrible to lose so much of the Christmas market this year – including the artisan market. The main square has been so overcrowded this weekend. A sorry decline in 2025.

Mad this hasn’t happened sooner #20isplenty

New sign in Kingston

Kingston police will be back at Norbiton Station this Friday 8 August from 1-2pm for more free bike security marking.

Beautiful! 😂

Important news for anyone who uses Berrylands station 👇

Another summer commuting on the decrepit old 1980s trains without AC is going to be deeply unpleasant. These new trains can’t come soon enough. Often see loads of them parked up in Clapham (at peak times, ironically).

Black smoke coming from the side of the building. Two fire engines are on the scene.

We've increased resources at the scene of the fire in #Kingston to help us tackle the blaze effectively.

Around 150 firefighters and 25 fire engines are now on the scene london-fire.gov.uk/incidents/20...

#Kingston

Richmond Road and other roads to the north of the station are currently closed off due to a fire at the old bingo hall

Please avoid the area including the pavements to allow @lfb-kingston can deal with it

Unsure if SWR trains are affected

Lower Marsh Lane?

M25/A3 junction closed this weekend for bridge demolition –causing lengthy delays through Hook and Chessington 🚗 🚙 🚗

Closed again 22 & 23 March!

Sounds like the K1!

Madness. Not the first time we’ve had this thanks to TW. Council need to act on this urgently!

Any indication when it’ll be fixed?

Traffic queuing in the car park in the early evening. Lots of red tail lights showing.

Long queues to leave Sainsbury's car park, caused by too many cars and utility works by Thames Water on Richmond Road. Guessing this will be pretty standard if developers of Canbury Place get to close Kingsgate Road to traffic.

I love the desire path concept. I see them all the time! My view, if it’s what the masses want, adapt the pathways based on the ‘desire’ 😂

Thule bike trailer for dogs

Advertising for the Thule "Bexey" trailer.

Thule bike pannier that thinks it's also a backpack.

Swedish outdoor and transportation business Thule opened its shop in Kingston this week, at the north-west corner of the market place. For cyclists they sell child bike seats, bike trailers for kids and dogs, panniers and bike racks to fit on cars.

One of the worst organisations of our time. Passing the cost of their excessive, insulting payouts back to customers already under huge financial pressure whilst delivering a diabolical service and failing on basic maintenance

Sweepstake on when it will actually open? I’ll take autumn 2031

Unlikely

Motorcycles 🏍️ riding across the Market Place in Kingston are SO dangerous. It’s strictly not allowed. And yet so many do it. Aren’t the cameras working? Time to clamp down.

😂

Stunning! 🤩

There’s a surprise. The wonderfully effective Lib Dem council continues to run services into the ground and charge us the max increase every year. And when do we get a pool so our kids can learn to swim?! Good luck.

Sainsbury's is looking to open at Kingston station, which means it'll be going head to head with the busy little Tesco just across the road.

Stay safe!
