Greater London is made up of 32 London boroughs. Kingston is one of those boroughs, so it's officially part of Greater London. However, the headquaters building of the Surrey County Council are still in Kingston. This is because, before the re-organistion of Greater London government in 1965, there was a Municipal Borough of Kingston which was affliated to the Surrey County Council. When that was abolished, it was merged with the Municipal Borough of Surbiton and the Municipal Borough of Malden and Coombe, to form the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames. So traditionally it was part of Surrey, but has actually been part of London for over 45 years. Many people think of it as both.

Greater London.
Prior to 1965, it was Surrey.
Metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties are one of the four levels of English administrative division used for the purposes of local government.
Kingston upon Thames is the principal settlement of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in London, England.
It was the ancient market town where Saxon kings were crowned and is now a lively suburb situated 10 miles (16.1 km) south west of Charing Cross. It is one of ten major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan.

The Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames is a borough of LONDON. Postally it is still in Surrey, since the Post Office chose to ignore boundary changes in 1964. Just to confuse matters the County Hall for Surrey is actually in Kingston! But that still doesn't stop it being within London. This may not be tidy or logical, but it is true.

None. It's a Unitary Authority within Greater London. For postal purposes it is in Surrey. But in these days of computer readings of postcodes, the Royal Mail aren't really bothered about counties any more.
