Living in Kingston as a Student

Kingston upon Thames combines easy access to central London with the character of a riverside town. Its transport connections and range of local amenities make it a practical base for students. Direct trains from Kingston station to London Waterloo typically take around 28–33 minutes, while the town is home to Kingston University and Kingston College.

Student life in Kingston is lively, with cafés, restaurants, pubs and social spaces where you can relax between lectures. Students based at Kingston University’s Penrhyn Road campus can easily walk to the shops, cafés and entertainment venues in the town centre. For a change of pace, you can explore Richmond Park, spend time beside the River Thames or browse the food and retail stalls at Kingston’s Ancient Market.

Finding the right student accommodation in Kingston is an important part of settling into university life. Living near your campus can make it easier to balance classes, societies and social plans. Some student housing options are within walking distance of the university and town centre, while regular local buses and Kingston University’s intersite services connect its campuses, railway stations and halls of residence.

Best Student Halls makes it easy to compare properties in one place. Students can review room types, prices and amenities before choosing accommodation that suits their needs and budget. With verified listings and flexible contract lengths available on selected properties, finding suitable student accommodation becomes more straightforward.

Transport Links

+
Depending on where you live and study, many parts of Kingston can be reached on foot or by bicycle, helping you reduce transport costs and avoid unnecessary journeys. Kingston University supports cyclists with bike-check sessions, maintenance courses, pumps and repair stations, while its halls provide cycle racks or storage. When comparing private student accommodation in Kingston upon Thames, check whether secure cycle storage is available, as facilities vary between properties.

Public transport in Kingston upon Thames makes it straightforward to travel between campuses and explore the surrounding area. Local bus routes connect student areas such as Surbiton and Norbiton with Kingston town centre, railway stations and university sites. Kingston University also operates an intersite bus service between its campuses, halls of residence and sports facilities. Kingston railway station provides direct services to London Waterloo, making central London accessible for work placements, internships and days out.

Kingston railway station is in TfL Zone 6, with direct journeys to central London taking around 30 minutes on some services. Eligible students can use an 18+ Student Oyster photocard to receive 30% off 7 Day, Monthly and longer-period Travelcards and Bus & Tram Pass season tickets. The discount does not apply to standard pay-as-you-go fares, so students who travel occasionally should compare the available fare options before buying a season ticket.

Art & History

+
Kingston upon Thames has an active arts and cultural scene, with galleries, exhibitions and community events throughout the borough. Kingston Museum is a useful place to explore the area’s history on a free afternoon or Saturday. Entry is free, and its permanent exhibitions cover Kingston’s ancient origins, its royal connections and pioneering photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The museum holds one of the world’s most significant Muybridge collections, including photographs and early moving-image equipment.

The Stanley Picker Gallery at Kingston University presents contemporary art and design through exhibitions, events and participation activities. Kingston School of Art also adds to the area’s creative atmosphere through student exhibitions and its annual Degree Show. The Kingston Street Art Festival has brought live mural painting, artist trails and an art market to the town centre, although students should check the latest programme before visiting because dates and activities may change.

Cost of Living

+
Kingston upon Thames can be more affordable than some parts of London, although individual costs depend on your accommodation, travel, food and lifestyle. Rent is usually one of the largest expenses in a student budget. Choosing private student accommodation in Kingston upon Thames gives you a range of room types to compare, making it easier to find an option that suits your budget and preferred way of living. Borough-wide rental figures are lower than the London average, but these cover the wider private market and should not be treated as typical student-room prices.

Many purpose-built student properties offer amenities such as high-speed internet, study areas, gyms and games rooms. Some also include utilities in the weekly rent, which can make monthly spending easier to manage. However, facilities, bills and services vary between properties, so check exactly what is included before booking. When comparing options, consider the total contract cost as well as the weekly rent, tenancy length and likely travel expenses.

Planning your student budget does not have to be complicated. Our cost of living calculator provides an estimate of monthly living costs and shows how expenses can differ between areas. It can help you budget for rent, groceries, transport and other everyday spending.

Food & Drink

+
Kingston upon Thames has a varied food and drink scene, with cafés, market stalls, takeaways and restaurants across the town centre. For breakfast or brunch, Local Hero on Thames Street serves coffee and a selection of brunch dishes. At Kingston’s Ancient Market, Phoreal specialises in Vietnamese street food, including pho, bánh mì and rice or noodle dishes. Yoriya on Castle Street is another convenient option, serving Korean and Japanese food such as sushi, noodles and chicken katsu curry.

When you want to meet friends after lectures, Kingston has a good choice of pubs and riverside venues. The Mill on the High Street serves pub food and shows live sport, while The Ram offers seasonal dishes, craft beer and outdoor seating beside the River Thames. You will also find cafés, bubble tea shops and casual restaurants around the town centre. Prices and special offers can change, so check current menus and available student discounts when planning an affordable meal out.

Retail

+
Kingston upon Thames has a broad mix of high-street retailers, shopping centres and independent businesses, making it convenient for students to buy study supplies, clothing and household essentials. Ryman at Eden Walk stocks stationery and office supplies and provides printing, photocopying, scanning and binding services. Primark on Eden Street is another practical option for clothing, accessories and homeware.

The Bentall Centre contains around 55 shops offering fashion, beauty, technology, food and other everyday products. Students can also explore the independent shops around the town centre and nearby market area for books, gifts and locally produced items.

Whether you are moving into Kingston student accommodation, refreshing your wardrobe or stocking up on course supplies, comparing prices and checking for student discounts can help you manage your budget.

Sports

+
Kingston upon Thames offers plenty of opportunities for students to stay active, from gyms and tennis courts to organised team sports. The YMCA Hawker Centre, located beside the River Thames, provides gym and tennis facilities, while Kingston University’s recreational programme includes activities such as football, badminton, swimming and tennis.

Students who prefer exercising outdoors can walk, jog or cycle along the Thames Path. Fairfield Recreation Ground is another useful local option, with football and cricket facilities as well as outdoor fitness equipment. A new leisure centre is currently being built in Kingston town centre and is expected to open in spring 2027, so references to the former Kingston Leisure Centre’s facilities should be avoided for now.

During the academic year, Kingston Students’ Union runs a range of sports clubs for both social and competitive participation. Kingston University also has extensive facilities at Tolworth Court Sports Ground for football, rugby, netball, cricket and other team sports. Students interested in water sports can join the university’s rowing club, which trains both in the gym and on the river and welcomes participants of all abilities.
