Shopping

With hundreds of stores, a bustling Market Place and a vibrant offer of independent shopping, Kingston is one of the biggest shopping destinations in Surrey.

The Eden Walk Shopping Centre is home to M&S, Sainsburys and a three-storey Boots.

Venture towards the Market Place and you’ll find yourself in Kingston’s ‘boutique’ quarter greeted by high-end high street brands like Reiss, Whistles, The White Company, Jo Malone and Space N.K.
