KT2
KT2 — Norbiton, Canbury, Kingston Hill and Coombe
The ground rises steadily from the river through Canbury and Norbiton up to Kingston Hill and Coombe, and the character of the work rises with it. Down by the water the streets are terraced and tightly parked; higher up, Coombe Hill and Coombe are long private-feeling roads with gates, gravel and cars that sit unused for weeks at a time. Kingston Hospital sits between the two and produces the shift-pattern calls that every hospital does — a flat discovered at the end of a long day, in a car park, in the dark.

Getting to you
Gravel drives are worth mentioning when you call, because a jack needs a firm base and we will bring boards rather than improvise. At Kingston Hospital, name the car park rather than the department. In Canbury and Norbiton the residential streets are narrow and the evening parking leaves very little space to work beside a car.
