Contemporary and compact are the watchwords at this Kingston-upon-Thames apartment. With the town centre a little over half a mile away and Norbiton station just a few minutes on foot, you're ideally placed to make the most of the shops and restaurants in the local area, with South Western Railway ready to whisk you into Waterloo Station in around twenty-five minutes. Fancy reconnecting with nature after spending some time in the city? Take your pick from the two largest of London's Royal Parks – both Bushy and Richmond are within walking distance of your address.
