Widow & widower dating in Kingston upon Thames

Kingston upon Thames is a historic riverside borough on London's south-western edge, where the Thames and the Surrey countryside meet. Kingston itself — an ancient market and coronation town — sits on the river, with Surbiton's elegant Italianate streets, New Malden, Tolworth, Chessington and Norbiton around it. It is a prosperous, settled part of London with the river at its heart and Richmond Park on its doorstep, which makes it a genuinely pleasant place for widows and widowers to rebuild a social life close to home.

The river, the park — and the view from the other side of grief

The Thames riverside, Canbury Gardens and first meetings

Kingston is wonderfully supplied with gentle places for a first meeting. The Thames riverside, from Kingston Bridge down to Canbury Gardens, is flat, pretty and ideal for a walking conversation, with riverside cafes along the way. Richmond Park, entered at Kingston Gate, offers deer, ancient oaks and open space, while Bushy Park with its avenues and ponds is only a little further. Surbiton's riverside and the elegant streets around Claremont Gardens are easy and characterful, and nearby Hampton Court makes a memorable outing. The cafes of Kingston's market place and Surbiton are comfortable for a first coffee.
