N2  - The history of the ancient town of Kingston upon Thames goes back to Anglo-Saxon time, and two Saxon kings were crowned there.  Historically in Surrey, it has been an important crossing point for the River Thames for centuries and although the town is now part of Greater London, it retains its separate identity despite the massive growth of population in the area.  Kingston also has a proud industrial past, being associated with military aircraft design and manufacture by famous names such as Sopwith, Hawker and Hawker Siddeley and British Aerospace
