Kingston Park

Kingston Park is a suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne, about 4 miles (6 km) north west of the city centre.

Its Metro station was not part of the original system, the area not having the required population density when the network was first planned.

Most of the housing to the south of Kingston Park Metro station was built by developers such as Leech and originally sold on a leasehold basis.

Some of the housing to the north of the station was built as council owned rented properties, although many were bought by tenants under the Government's right-to-buy scheme.

Further housing development is planned on the fringes of Kingston Park at Kenton Bank Foot and Callerton, in areas once part of the Green Belt.
