Welcome to Chessington

Chessington is a suburban area located in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in Greater London. It is situated approximately 12 miles southwest of Charing Cross and is known for its popular theme park, Chessington World of Adventures. The park attracts millions of visitors each year and features a variety of rides, attractions, and animal exhibits. In addition to the theme park, Chessington is also home to a number of local shops, restaurants, and pubs, making it a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike.

One of the main draws of Chessington is its close proximity to London. The area is well-connected to the city via public transportation, with regular train and bus services running throughout the day. This makes it an ideal location for commuters who work in London but prefer to live in a quieter, more suburban setting. Chessington also benefits from its location near the M25 motorway, which provides easy access to other parts of the country.

Despite its popularity as a tourist destination, Chessington has managed to maintain its small-town charm. The area is surrounded by green spaces, including Chessington Park and Horton Country Park, which offer plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. The local community is tight-knit and friendly, with a range of community events and activities taking place throughout the year. Overall, Chessington is a unique and vibrant part of Greater London that offers something for everyone.
