Kingston upon Thames

Kingston upon Thames, part of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, is an ancient market town where Saxon kings were crowned, and is now a lively suburb of London. It is where the aquatic adventure in Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome begins and was also a major military aircraft manufacturing centre in the 20th century - notably with the Sopwith, Hawker and British Aerospace companies. It is the home of Kingston University. It is currently home to two well-known non-league football clubs, Kingstonian F.C and AFC Wimbledon.
