Kingston upon Thames is an affluent and historic borough situated in the South West of Greater London and is famously known for its central position in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. It's a key part of London's transport network with an abundance of train and bus routes across the borough and has become the hub of the finance industry with a selection of big name banks and a bustling business quarter. What's less widely known however is Kingston upon Thames' connections to the car industry and motorsport scene.
The car industry has been closely aligned with Kingston upon Thames since it witnessed the first commercial production of the self-propelled, petrol-driven vehicle by The Motor Manufacturing Co. Ltd in 1896. This pioneering, family-run business set up operations at the Trading Estate in the Borough of Kingston upon Thames and sold the world's first petrol driven vehicle a year later. Since then, the borough has maintained a strong presence in the car industry with a number of workshops and independent retailers in the area offering high-end car care and servicing.

The borough is also the new home to the London Stock Exchange's trading operations, giving it a key position in global financial markets.
