London Square Unveils County Hall Kingston

A GRADE II* LANDMARK REIMAGINED FOR MODERN LIVING

A new chapter begins for one of Kingston’s most iconic heritage buildings

London Square is proud to launch County Hall Kingston, a landmark development that blends rich heritage with modern luxury in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Set behind the grand façade of the Grade II* listed former Surrey County Hall, this extraordinary riverside development opens up a once-closed historic site to create 264 beautifully crafted homes, nestled among landscaped gardens and elegant new architecture.

Where Heritage Meets Contemporary Living

The grand original building is being sensitively restored and reimagined into stunning apartments, each brimming with character and crafted detail. Original features such as stained-glass windows, wood-panelled rooms, and decorative ceilings offer a rare glimpse into the building’s storied past – now adapted for 21st-century living. Alongside, three striking new apartment buildings – Ebbstone House, Riverton House and Henmere House – bring contemporary design to the fore, each with private balconies or terraces, and views over new gardens and courtyards inspired by traditional British garden squares. The new buildings are thoughtfully designed and positioned to respond to their historic surroundings.

A Lifestyle Defined by Elegance and Ease

Beyond homes and green spaces, 1893 Club, a nod to the year the near 135-year-old building opened, offers residents a suite of private amenities designed for relaxation, wellbeing, and connection located in the heritage building at the heart of the scheme.

Residents can enjoy:
● The Picture House – a boutique cinema lounge
● The Games Parlour – for relaxed evenings with friends
● The Tasting Room – perfect for private dinners
● The Study – a peaceful co-working space
● The Balance Studio & The Sanctum – for fitness and mindfulness
● Plus, a 24-hour concierge to handle life’s little details

An Unmatched Location

Located just 30 minutes from Central London, Kingston offers the perfect mix of riverside charm and urban convenience. From riverside walks and a bustling historic market to independent shops, cafés, and world-class education, this is one of
London’s most desirable addresses. Surbiton and Kingston stations are both within walking distance, while nearby
schools and universities – including Kingston University and Kingston School of Art – make this a superb choice for families, professionals, and investors alike. Within the storied walls, London Square is proudly preserving the official council rooms, including the Chairman of the Council’s office and original courthouse which has been used for filming by ITV and Netflix and has featured in scenes from Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Call the Midwife and Downton Abbey.

Tim Gawthorn, Group Sales & Marketing Director, London Square, said: “County Hall Kingston is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home in one of London’s most significant heritage settings. It represents the best of what we do –
blending timeless architecture with modern living, in an unbeatable location. This stunning riverside development will appeal both to discerning buyers seeking a London home and to investors looking for long-term value.”

“Building on the success of our award-winning Star & Garter project in Richmond Hill a decade ago, we are once again drawing on our expertise to reimagine and elevate an important part of London’s architectural heritage.” Andrew Long, Director, Rolfe Judd Architecture, commented: “We’ve been involved with the transformation of Kingston’s Grade II* listed County Hall since the project’s inception in 2020, and we’re proud to now be working closely with London Square, to deliver a development that not only restores and reimagines this important civic landmark, but also introduces sensitively designed new buildings that contribute to the town’s evolving architectural story.”
