Kingston hospital overnight stay experiences - when do they kick out DH?

I'm due with my first DC next week and am booked in at Kingston hospital. Assuming I have to stay in for at least one night after the birth, I'm just wondering how long DH can stay with me in hospital.

Iv read about a recent refurb they've had that includes reclining chairs so birthing partners can stay overnight, but then elsewhere it says that partners can't stay.

Has anyone had any experience at Kingston?
I just feel funny about the idea of being left alone so soon without DH with our new baby!

I was at kh recently and had to stay in for a few days on a ward. My partner was never mentioned as staying and I never asked. He tended to go home about 10, when the ward lights were turned off. I was on a ward with 4 others and no partners stayed. He only stayed the night I gave birth but only as was early hours of morning and by time I was transferred to ward was 8am. Ask though as I'm sure some fathers stay.
