Beginning in April 2025, Boldyn Networks will commence work to install fibre optic internet cables, improving internet access for both local businesses and residents around the town centre, as well as services such as the borough’s CCTV system. The project is part of the Mayor of London’s wider Connected London programme, to improve digital connectivity across London boroughs, bringing significant social and economic benefits to residents, businesses, and visitors.
The project includes the installation of high-speed fibre links to 58 of Kingston's CCTV locations, enabled through the construction of a 10km network covering Kingston town centre and parts of Surbiton.
The links will connect to the council’s main CCTV office site, which plays a crucial role in supporting public safety. 12 connections will be delivered by Virgin Media Business, while 46 will be implemented by Boldyn Networks.
The project is funded through the GLA’s Strategic Investment Fund, allowing TfL and Boldyn Networks to deliver full fibre connectivity upgrades in London boroughs.
Howard Dawber, Deputy Mayor of London for Business and Growth, said:
“In a world where access to reliable high speed digital connectivity is increasingly important, the Mayor and I are committed to ensuring that all Londoners and visitors are connected across the whole of the capital. Kingston and Surbiton are important growth hubs for business and leisure, as well as town centres for residents – so this new partnership will deliver significant improvements for local people, tourists and businesses.”
Councillor Afilaka, Portfolio Holder for ICT and Digital at Kingston Council said:
"By improving digital connectivity, we are ensuring our borough remains at the forefront of technological advancement and community well-being."
