Galsworthy, Kingston on Thames, How do I visit and visit ANY of the spots that inspired him?

Update:

I heard that his house there is now a "Marion" school or something like that--actually THREE Schools. Sounds religious. There's a street named after him and and his other house is a rest home in Knightsbridge. He's not dead to ME-- I love his writing, not because it's that great, but so descriptive of another time. His work got butchered in 2002 by a remake of "The Forsyte Saga" on BBC.

    He's rather a forgotten writer despite the huge popularity of the Forsythe Saga on TV about 40 years ago. He was born in a house on Kingston Hill which I suspect is no longer there. Kingston University has named one of its newish buildings after him. I suspect that otherwise there is no trace of him.
