Wilkinson's is no longer there. Replaced by an arcade style venue called Urban Fun, I think.
Many Kingstoners probably think of themselves as being in London. There's some graffiti on the way in to London on the A3 that says "Surrey not Surrey".

I miss the days of the CEX store when it sold import games just round the corner as well.
Considering you have to travel through New Malden, Raynes Park (which for me is the border), and Norbiton to get to London, they would be wrong. I always assume many think like that as it potentially increases house prices but just having a TFL tap and go bus doesn't make somewhere London.
New Malden, Raynes Park, Norbiton all in London in my mind, and their Wikipedia pages concur for what it's worth.
