Seething Wells is a locality of Surbiton in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. It is the site of a former water treatment works on the south bank of the River Thames. Part of it was redeveloped in the early 21st century. The filter beds remain the property of Thames Water, via their property agency Kennett Homes. The beds' riverside location has attracted the attention of developers and they have been the object of development applications, so far not granted. The beds are a designated wildlife area within Greater London. A substantial labyrinth of underground tunnels and structures, some of which are statutorily listed, forms an important haven for eight species of bat including some of Britains' rarer varieties subject to special protection. The beds and converted waterworks are part of one of the Royal Borough of Kingston's Conservation Areas.
