The Kingston Hundred is a hundred of Surrey, a small hundred in the north-east of the county centred on Kingston upon Thames, after which it is named.
The hundred has, for the most part, been absorbed by the growth of the metropolitan conurbation spreading from London and the conurbation's western border at this point approximates to that of the Kingston Hundred.
Kingston borders the Brixton Hundred to the east; the Elmbridge Hundred to the south; and the River Thames to the west and north.
The following ancient parishes are within the Hundred of Kingston:[1]
- Chessington (until 1610)
- Esher (minor part)[2]
- Ham with Hatch (chapelry of Kingston upon Thames)
- Hook (chapelry of Kingston upon Thames)
- Kew
- Kingston upon Thames
- Long Ditton
- Malden
- Petersham
- Richmond
- Thames Ditton (part, from 1769)[2]
In Domesday Book the hundred is recorded as containing Kingston, Petersham, Long Ditton, Thames Ditton, and Malden.[3]
