City of Kingston upon Hull

Kingston upon Hull stretches along the River Hull and Humber Estuary, featuring extensive docks that handle international maritime trade and cargo services.

The monks of Meaux Abbey established the settlement in the 12th century, which King Edward I acquired and renamed Kingston upon Hull in 1293.

The Ferens Art Gallery contains collections of European paintings from the 14th century and displays modern British art across multiple exhibition spaces.

The city center connects to surrounding areas through dedicated bus lanes and cycle paths, with direct train services to London, Manchester, and Leeds.

The Land of Green Ginger street contains the smallest window in England, measuring only 25 centimeters high in the George Hotel building.
