Introduction: Opened in January 2009, the Holiday Inn
London Kingston South is located 10 miles to the south west of central London,
on the south side of the River Thames (actually by its banks). The town of
Kingston has a place in history as the ancient market town where Saxon Kings
(5th century till 11th centuries) were crowned. This location is particularly
useful for connections to Gatwick Airport which is accessed via the A243 or A240
and the M25/M23 motorways with a journey time of around 30 minutes by road. Its
also around the same time to get into central London (45 minutes by train) or
Heathrow Airport. The nearby Kingston Station has two direct
bus
services to Heathrow airport. Kingston itself has much to offer with the
major attraction of
Hampton Court Palace just 1.5 miles from the hotel where 500 of years of
Royal history is on show to the public. Just under 4 miles from the hotel is
Chessington World of Adventures where its combination of theme rides, fun
park and zoo make it must visit for families. Other local places of interest
include Tolworth Recreation Centre (2.2 miles), Orleans House Art Gallery (2.9
miles), York House and Gardens (3.1 miles), Marble Hill House (3.1 miles),
Sandown Racecourse (3.2 miles) and Kempton Racecourse (3.9 miles). Eden Walk and
Bentalls shopping centres (includes bowling alley, gym and multi screen cinema)
within half a mile.
