Boldyn Networks upgrades digital infrastructure in Kingston

Boldyn Networks is joining forces with Kingston Council, in partnership with Transport for London (TfL) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) to significantly improve digital connectivity in Kingston town centre and Surbiton as part of the Connected London programme.

Beginning in April 2025, Boldyn will start work to install fibre optic internet cables, improving internet access for both businesses and residents, 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.

This 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 at Kingswood Business Park, 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 – expected to be completed by February 2026 - is funded through the GLA’s Strategic Investment Fund, allowing TfL and Boldyn Networks to deliver full fibre connectivity upgrades in London boroughs.
