Kingston's one-Way System has been dubbed by Sabre as "probably the most effective of London's many gyratories and one-way systems in the cunning art of not letting you visit the town it is in".

Sabre writes: "Visitors to Kingston will generally arrive at the town, find themselves drawn onto the one-way system's multi-lane racetrack, and will then either hurtle around it several times, unable to escape the high-speed whirlpool of circulating traffic, or will be helplessly spun off down one of the exits from the system, skidding to a halt several miles later in Surbiton or Ham."

Currently, Kingston's system is clockwise, however, it was revealed on Monday, 31 March, that the direction is being changed to anticlockwise next week.

Some of you who maybe dislike the current system Kingston has, but for those of you are used to it, a new direction might confuse your bearings.

Happy April Fools from everyone at Kingston Nub News.
