Kevin was extremely helpful in providing information about transportation to Kingston from Heathrow, gaining access to his flat and details regarding hot water etc.

The flat was wonderful...spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean, and close to the rail station. Kingston is a very attractive University town set right on the River Thames. It is close to Richmond and Hampton Court but does not have much else in the way of "tourist" attractions. This in many ways makes it more representative of the "real" Britain. It was a pleasure walking by the river, wandering around town, shopping in the market and feeling the energy and diversity of the students.

It is only a 25 minute train ride to Waterloo and a cheap 45 minute express bus ride on the X26 to Heathrow from the Heathrow Central Bus Station.
