Kingston is a district in the east side of Milton Keynes, in the civil parish of Kents Hill, Monkston and Brinklow.
Kingston District Centre is a large retail development that serves this side of the Milton Keynes urban area (its home parish, Broughton, Middleton and the parish of Walton, Woburn Sands and Wavendon). The District Centre houses a Tesco hypermarket and other UK high street names, such as Aldi, Boots, Wilko, and other retail outlets. The centre also has a small local library, a meeting place and a separate restaurant building on the Southern ring road. Its Marks and Spencer closed in February 2020[1]
According to Milton Keynes City Council, Kingston, Wolverton, Bletchley and Westcroft form the second tier in the retail hierarchy of Milton Keynes, below Central Milton Keynes.[2]
Bounded by Chaffron Way (H7) to the north, Tongwell St (A4146/V11) to the east, Standing Way (A421/H8) to the south and Newport Rd (formerly the A5130) to the east, the rest of the district consists of motor dealers, light industry factories and warehouses, including a Costco wholesale.
