The character of Kingston upon Thames
The one-way gyratory around Clarence Street, Wood Street and Fairfield keeps most through-traffic moving in a single direction, and a wrong turn can add ten minutes to a journey that should take two. Kingston Bridge is the only crossing for miles in either direction, so it backs up whenever an event or a market closes a lane. Cars generally wait on Wood Street or one of the side roads off the gyratory rather than outside Bentalls itself.
- The car waits on Wood Street or a side road off the gyratory rather than outside Bentalls.
- Clarence Street closes to general traffic on busy market days.
- Kingston falls inside the ULEZ, a cost we build into the quotation rather than adding afterward.
- University term-start days bring a short, sharp rise in bookings across KT1 and KT2.
