About

The Kingston Environment Centre is located at the Fountain Roundabout, 1 Kingston Road, New Malden. It is well served by buses from Kingston and is a 5 minute walk from frequent rail services at New Malden Train Station.

Kingston Council allows us to rent this former  Youth Centre, former public toilet. It’s like the Tardis, bigger and more comfortable on the inside. It’s also full of environmental innovations like our energy saving skylights. We are gradually making improvements to turn it into a good example of a sustainable building. Come and volunteer with us to help make the centre even better.

Kingston Environment Centre is currently run on a voluntary basis and callers are welcome to drop in at any time. Leaflets and notices about environmental work are on display and there is a growing resource of environmental information of all kinds. We have a reference library from donated books which we hope will grow and which adds to the homely and welcoming appeal of our meeting room.

All donations are gratefully received and go straight to the projects we support. You can make a donation by card here.

Room Hire

We offer meeting and workshop space, a small kitchen, office resources and a backyard to all kinds of environmental groups based in the borough. We rent the meeting room out from £15 an hour (there is a discount for members). The space can be used for a wide range of events from training to consultations, community get-togethers and films.
