Walking in London: London walk in Kingston upon Thames town centre
This London walk takes place in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey – a 30-minute train ride from Waterloo Station. This 17-minute walk takes you from Kingston Bridge into Kingston town centre via the ancient market square, Clattern Bridge, Rose Theatre and Kingston Town Hall. I then turn down through the main shopping area to end at Kingston’s Red Telephone Boxes architectural installation. The train station to London Waterloo is just around the corner from there. Part 1 of this walk takes you along Kingston Riverside.

The two combined walks – Kingston Riverside (Part 1) and Kingston Town Centre (Part 2) - work very well in reverse, starting at the telephone boxes and ending at Ravens Ait where a pub or two is around the corner for refreshment before the return walk. Or you could continue to Surbiton (around 20 minutes) and get a train to Waterloo from there (I can provide route information or a new walking video on this). From Surbiton you can also take a train to Hampton Court (King Henry VIII) and either walk back along the tow path to Kingston (a good 30-45 minutes, especially if you are tired by then!) or take the train again. In summer, boats also run along this stretch to Kingston and Richmond.
My equipment:
Gimbal - DJI Osmo 2 Mobile, what a joy this has been to learn and balance;/
LG mobile phone - a bit on its last legs and overheating at all the hard work, but just about hanging in there.
I do the immersive first-person walks with these two items.
For vlogging to camera, I use my Canon G7X Mark ii. One day I hope to buy a proper camera gimbal so as to use the Canon for the actual filming, but this will take a bit of saving up for, and then a bit of learning!

Know Your Borough (1951)
Recently digitised by London's Screen Archives, and largely unseen since it was produced in the early 1950s, this rather beautiful 16mm film was made by Wimbledon Cine Club and commissioned by the Municipal borough of Wimbledon to show the many activities carried out in the district by the council.The voiceover is provided by BBC TV and radio newsreader Frank Phillips.
The core of the film focuses on how the rates are spent on essential services – street cleaning, refuse collection, sewage, parkland, etc. – and how the council is working to defray the rates by recycling and producing fertiliser. The film is bookended by two sequences taken from the Town Hall’s council chambers: the first of which shows a council meeting in session, the second features the ancient ceremony of Mayor Making.
Sights of significance include Wimbledon Town hall, a trash destructor facility on Durnsford Road, Wimbledon Common, possibly Cannizaro Park as well (the voiceover mentions the council’s recent acquisition of the park but it is not clear if it is actually shown – if you know, tell us!) and scant views of River Wandle.
This film is from the Merton Heritage and Local Studies Centre. (The full catalogue record for this film, LSA25860, is available at londonsscreenarchives.org.uk.)
