South Richmond
Richmond upon Thames, London
South Richmond sits on the Thames in the south-east of Richmond upon Thames, covering Richmond Green, the riverside, and the edge of Richmond Park. The town became a municipal borough in 1890 and joined Greater London in 1965. Richmond Green has been described as one of the most beautiful urban greens surviving in England — around 12 acres framed with broadleaf trees — and Quinlan Terry's Richmond Riverside development was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988. The ward carries 183 listed buildings including the Grade I Asgill House, the Grade I Trumpeters' House and the Grade I Wardrobe, with around 76.2 percent of the ward inside a conservation area. Green cover is exceptional at 99.3 hectares, including 69.4 hectares of Richmond Park extending into the ward. Safety and air-quality scores are strong, 11 Ofsted-outstanding schools sit within reach, and around 169 food venues and 235 non-food venues anchor the town centre. The drawbacks: moderate public-transport access limited to Richmond station — no tube further south — and market affordability is poor given the desirability.
