Market gardening continued until well into the twentieth century. With its road and rail connections to London along the M4 corridor, it is within the London commuter belt.
Although north of the River Thames, the area forms part of the Kingston upon Thames and East Molesey post towns based on the south side of the river.[2] As the river flows north past Hampton Wick and Kingston, it is actually west of Kingston.
