All new homes in this development are sold out. We can help you find a secondary housing option in Royal Exchange.
History
First recorded in a Royal Charter in 838, the medieval market town of Kingston is Britain’s oldest Royal Borough. It has a colourful history that includes the coronation of Saxon Kings and the construction of London’s oldest bridge, while presentday Kingston has become one of the capital’s most exclusive and desirable places to live.
About Royal Exchange
The latest addition to the rich variety of Kingston is Royal Exchange, a development built around the Grade II listed Old Post Office and Telephone Exchange. It will offer 322 Manhattan, one, two and three bedroom apartments, adding a modern note to complement Kingston’s evolving heritage.
Architecture
Working in collaboration with established architects, every facet, from historic building features and modern materials, to on-site facilities have been designed to exceed expectations.The development will offer the town of Kingston something fresh and appealing – a charismatic new neighbourhood that will grow into a much-loved place to visit. New residents will enjoy a friendly atmosphere, quality that’s obvious to the eye, and a sense of style that puts it among London’s most desirable locations.
Advantages
Based on the concept of historic courtyards which provided sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the town centre, the private gardens at Royal Exchange will provide residents with peaceful spaces, and a welcome contrast to the vibrancy of a twenty first century town centre. There will be places for reflection, to read in the shade, as well as safe play gardens for children and friendly communal terraces.
The private residents’ screening room offers luxury and entertainment; a relaxing contrast to the state-of-the-art cardio machines, free weights and studio in the 1,300 sq ft fitness suite. The 24-hour concierge will also be a familiar face, and happy to handle post, organise transport and more. There are other benefits too, like parking and cycle spaces and electrical car charging points.
Transport

Once in London the galleries and culture of the South Bank, shopping in Knightsbridge and the West End, along with 68 Michelin starred restaurants, are all close at hand. Looking outward, the A3, M3 and M25 are within a short drive and Heathrow Airport is less than 9 miles away.

Choosing a floor plan might be tricky, but it shouldn't be so. See 3 quick tips below to pick only the right layout for your new home.
Tip 1 — Measure it all
You might already know your desired square footage when choosing a new home. Generally, more bedrooms mean more space, which also drives up the prices.
However, modern developers offer smart floor plans so you can make better use of the space. For instance, a studio with an open floor plan can be much more efficient and affordable than a typical 1-bedroom apartment with a traditional floor plan.
Tip 2 – Go with the flow
Once you have picked one or several layouts, you need to imagine living in the space. Visualise daily activities like laundry or cooking: is it convenient? Do you have enough space?
Online interior design apps that offer 3D visualisation (many of them are free) are time-savers here. Just download the desired floor plan from 1newhomes, upload it to the website you chose, and get a 3D render to visualise living in your new home.
Tip 3 — Do not neglect flexible space
The current lifestyle dictates its own rules. That’s why you need to consider flexible space in your perfect floor plan to have room for a home office or a gym. In addition, be sure to check that your new flat has a lot of natural light. The importance of the latter goes without saying.
A good floor plan means having all you need in a smartly designed space. We are sure our quick tips help you pick only the perfect layout for your new home.
