The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thame is a borough in south-west London, England. The main town in the borough is Kingston upon Thames, but it covers a wider area also including places such as Surbiton, Chessington, New Malden and Tolworth. It is one of only two London Boroughs to be designated a "Royal Borough", the other being the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Think it used to be in Surrey. If not still in Surrey (even though it's a London Borough).

Yes it is still Surrey but it comes under a London borough...like Croydon and Sutton. They aim to confuse!
