The Telegraph ranked and rated all of London's 32 boroughs last month and Kingston was placed in the bottom ten at 28^th.

However, today (Friday, 7 November), the paper has taken a closer look at the 10 "worst" London boroughs, according to its study, explaining why they ranked so low, and what (if any) redeeming features they possess that may entertain a discerning visitor.

Coming in 28^th place, Kingston got a score of 11 for the 'Great Outdoors' section, 54 for 'Hospitality', 40 for 'Culture and Activities' and 140 for 'Good Vibes', giving it a total score of 245.

So why did Kingston rank so low?

The Telegraph says: "Despite sitting next door to London's greenest borough (Richmond upon Thames), Kingston upon Thames ranks as London's worst borough for wildlife, nature and outdoor space.

"The area is also one of the few that doesn't have a professional football club, nor a top-tier rugby side or a Test cricket ground."

However, the paper did identify some redeeming qualities within our borough, saying: "On the plus side, within the borough you have the Coombe Conduit (an English Heritage Site, worth 20 points), part of a curious network of Tudor waterworks.

"There are two fine independent breweries (The Park and 7000 Jars of Beer). And the borough is home to (the ride formerly known as) Professor Burp's Bubble Works. If that means nothing to you, you have never been to Chessington World of Adventures, and that is a great shame."
