Notes
Kingston Fire Station began construction in 1958 and was completed in December 1959, with the Surrey Fire Brigade opening the building in May 1960.
The station was built to replace the existing Surrey Fire Brigade station in the Fairfield Cattle Market that had become life-expired and was demolished shortly after closure.
Following the creation of the Greater London Council and the redrawing of boundaries, ownership of the station passed to the London Fire Brigade in 1965.
