River Thames, Kingston – Queen’s Promenade

Kingston Bridge

With a cold but sunny start to last Saturday I took a brief walk along the river at Kingston. It seemed that many had the same idea! While some were queuing outside shops in the town centre the rest of us were enjoying the riverside. A much better option in my view.

On the other side of the river you can walk all the way to Hampton Court
There are always fun things to see on the river
Oh my, what a big swan you are!
Santa is in town!
What a great display
In a previous post I mentioned Turk’s Boatyard and the connection to medieval Britain and Chatham Dockyard. Here you can see some of their very fine boats which leave from the pier further down the river.
Ravens Ait Island – a venue for weddings and other events
Paddle boarding
Nearly at the end of the path on this side of the river
Walking back this is quite a dominant view on the road
The Clattern Bridge (behind the blue one) built around 1175 over the Hogsmill River just before it meets the Thames. It is one of the olderst intact bridges in England. (The Guildhall can be seen in the background)
