Lambeth Together Competitors

Kingston Council is proud of its reputation as an authority which works with communities to agree priorities and to provide the services that matter most to people. How people feel about a place, and their quality of life, is greatly influenced by its character and sense of community. What is special about the borough of Kingston is the combination of characteristics that amount to a unique offer. As a place we have been a destination of choice throughout our history. And our future is as a destination too. As a borough, Kingston is a place where things happen and because of this, people respond positively, whether it’s on an individual basis as residents or visitors, or to invest as a business or as Government.

The Southwark skyline is an impressive sight. The incredibly diverse range of buildings, offices and social facilities make it a real mix of old and new. Extending from the River Thames into south-east London, Southwark encompasses some of the capital’s cultural hotspots, vibrant communities and acclaimed green spaces. Our central location provides excellent transport links making it a highly accessible area. We’re committed to making a real difference to the quality of life for local people, making the home environment cleaner, safer and more modern. Large-scale investment programmes are changing the face of the borough, and we’re working to ensure that this creates a fairer future for all in Southwark. We’re continually looking to support the growth of talent and to develop our workforce. So our employees are given the support, knowledge and opportunities they need to develop and deliver results that really improve the quality of life for our citizens. Personal development is embedded as a key part of our organisational culture with access to a wide range of training opportunities in addition to developmental work in local settings.
