About this venue
All Saints Church is a historic church in the heart of Kingston upon Thames, known for layered architecture that combines medieval character, Gothic details and later restoration work. As a building of notable cultural importance, the venue has a strong identity: it is not only a place of worship, but also a memorable setting for concerts, choral performances, cultural programmes and ceremonial events.
Inside, the church offers a warm and acoustic experience, with high vaults, stained glass, historic features and an organ that gives the space a distinctive musical character. Capacity and seating layout depend on the event format, but this flexibility makes the church especially suitable for intimate performances, formal presentations and occasions where atmosphere is as important as the programme itself.
The venue is located at Market Place, Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. The entrance is directly connected to the Market Place area, so reaching the doors is easiest on foot from the central pedestrian zone; drivers should plan to use nearby public car parks, as the immediate surroundings are largely pedestrian in character.

About the city
Kingston upon Thames, an elegant royal town on the banks of the Thames, is not only a quiet residential retreat near London – it is also a well-known spot for concerts, sporting gatherings, and a wide range of live events in a relaxed urban setting. Visitors value the blend of historic charm and modern options, because it’s easy to combine an evening out with a calm riverside walk on the same day. The town has a strong food-and-drink scene, from pubs and bistros to riverside restaurants, while accommodation ranges from central hotels to practical options in the surrounding area.
A major advantage is excellent transport connectivity to arenas and stadiums, both in Kingston itself and across the wider London area. The local network is supported by Transport for London (TfL) bus routes, while rail links are provided by South Western Railway via Kingston and Surbiton stations, with straightforward connections towards the city centre and the main hub London Waterloo. If you’re arriving by air, convenient choices include London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick Airport, and drivers benefit from easy access to key routes such as the A3. This kind of logistics means less stress getting in and more time to enjoy the event itself.
For an extra bonus before or after the show, Kingston offers promenades along the River Thames, the lively Ancient Market Place, and pleasant streets in the old town centre filled with cafés and terraces. You can add a cultural break at Rose Theatre Kingston, and for a royal atmosphere it’s an easy trip towards nearby Hampton Court Palace or a walk through vast green spaces such as Richmond Park. That balance of river, history, and proximity to London is exactly what makes Kingston upon Thames a smart choice when you want to turn an event into a complete day out.
