Chessington is a suburban area located in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, within Greater London. Known for its close proximity to the capital while retaining a distinctly residential character, Chessington offers a blend of green spaces, family amenities, and local history. The area is perhaps best known for Chessington World of Adventures Resort, a major theme park and zoo attracting visitors from across the region. While the central London skyline is never far away, Chessington maintains a quieter, more relaxed pace of life than many parts of the city.
