Twickenham Riverside
Richmond upon Thames, London
PocketsTwickenham Marble Hill (Cambridge Gardens · River Thames · Sandycombe Lodge · Marble Hill Park)Twickenham Town (Marble Hill Park · Twickenham)
Twickenham Riverside runs along the Thames from Richmond Bridge down to Eel Pie Island, a heritage-dense ward where most of the frontage is listed. Eighty listed buildings include the Grade I Richmond Bridge, the Grade I Marble Hill House — a very early Palladian villa built between 1724 and 1729 for Henrietta Howard, mistress of George II — and the Grade I Orleans House Octagon Room. Marble Hill Park at nearly twenty-eight hectares anchors a riverside green belt of forty-two hectares, and the conservation area covers over seventy per cent of the ward. Twenty-nine outstanding schools lie within reach and the food-and-drink scene along King Street and the riverside is one of the most established in this batch. Public transport is moderate via Twickenham station on the South Western mainline and St Margarets to the north. The drawbacks: no tube within reach; and the market score reflects prices well above the London median.
