More about this scene
There has probably been a formal market at Kingston since at least Saxon times; a series of charters have been granted by royalty since the 13th century, giving it official status. The charter granted by King Charles I gave Kingston the right to ban any other market within seven miles; this right has been used in recent times to stop markets operating in Putney, a little over four miles away. The Market Hall was opened in 1840.
