All Saints Church, Kingston upon Thames — Attraction in London

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Night at a Historic Gem!

I visited All Saints Church on for Rise Against’s in-store event, and it was an absolutely surreal experience! This 900-year-old church —where Saxon kings were once crowned—transformed into a punk-rock haven for the night, blending ancient history with electric modern energy. The band’s performance against the backdrop of medieval architecture, flint walls, and pale blue-painted ceilings created a vibe I’ll never forget.

Why it’s 5 stars: Unique Atmosphere: Where else can you mosh under 15th-century timber beams while gold-tinged angels watch from above? The acoustics in this space were incredible—every chord echoed powerfully . Seamless Organization: Despite the crowd, entry was smooth, and the staff balanced reverence for the church with enthusiasm for the concert. Even the merch tables fit right in! Rich History Meets Modern Community: Before the show, I explored the Saxon-era stone outlines in the churchyard and saw the oldest stone fragment (possibly from a 1,000-year-old cross!) . The church’s role as a community hub—hosting markets, cafes, and even fashion fundraisers —shows its vibrant spirit. Accessibility: Centrally located at 14-16 Market Place, Kingston , with entrances on both sides and free admission for casual visits .

Seeing Rise Against here felt like a secret gig in Westminster Abbey’s cooler, more rebellious cousin !

A must-visit—whether you’re a history buff, music lover, or just seeking soul-stirring architecture. Bravo,...

My first visit to the area after a three hour train journey to complete the Bear Hunt Sculpture Trail (May 2024). What a beautiful town to explore. There were walks along the River Thames, plenty of restaurants, cafés, and eateries. All Saints Church is an absolute must-see, I explored from the beautiful gateway on the Market Place. Within you will find a wealth of history, beautiful architecture, and stunning stained glass. You'll also discover that this church is a real community hub, with a fabulous cafe, restaurant, and gift shop, alongside areas to take a moment, say a prayer, and support those less fortunate than ourselves. It was truly a genius mix that just worked and felt inclusive. It also felt so warm, like being given a big hug. This is often a difficult combination to achieve, such a fantastic job, Kingston. If shopping is your thing there was a modern looking shopping centre just a short walk from the train station, as well as several well-known and independent shops around town. Lots of history too, make sure to look above some of the shop windows. I thoroughly enjoyed my day trip and found all the Bears. Thank you for hosting a wonderful art trail, Kingston...

Well I have been going to this church for many years and due to medical grounds I have not been to church how ever I went to Johnathan leaving party , well to my surprise I decided to go today and for a place of worship the doors were locked because the person said it’s dark what a silly excuse I am god fearing so who are they expecting to come into the church , if they feel it’s arms house the church should be no more , also the lady and gent were so rude at the front entrance and they call this church d it I was I’ll be praise and praying at home …the only time they smile is when it’s money collection I feel ashamed that this is what the new century of church is … all my grandchildren were christen there even they no longer return so that is...
