Our map collection focuses on the Borough of Kingston upon Thames, but neighbouring areas may also appear on larger maps. Many of our arc...
Early maps usually show the whole county rather than specific places. Maps from the 16th and 17th centuries show little more than the location of places.

Estate plans were used by property owners or included in a property’s sales details. We have copies of estate plans from the mid-18th century, including a plan of Claremont House and Park (1750), and many plans from the mid-19th to the mid-20th centuries, showing how properties were sold to building firms as the area became developed.

1 day ago · Kingston was a demesne manor of the West Saxon kings. Edward the Confessor let it out to farm and had a stud-farm in its neighbourhood.
