Local area guide
Skip hire in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames is a borough in south-west London, straddling the river from Barnes and Kew through Richmond and Twickenham to Hampton, with a population of around 195,000. It is the only London borough with land on both banks of the Thames, and it is by most measures the greenest — more than a third of its area is open space, and it consistently ranks as one of the most desirable and expensive places to live in the capital.
Richmond Park, enclosed by Charles I in 1637 as a hunting ground, is the largest of the royal parks at 2,500 acres and a National Nature Reserve, with around 600 free-roaming red and fallow deer. From King Henry's Mound within it runs a protected view ten miles east to St Paul's Cathedral — a sightline legally safeguarded since 1710. The view from Richmond Hill over the Thames meadows is the only view in England protected by its own Act of Parliament, passed in 1902, and it was painted by Turner and Reynolds and praised by Wordsworth and Walter Scott.
The borough holds an exceptional concentration of heritage. Kew Gardens is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most significant botanical institution in the world, holding the largest collection of living plants anywhere. Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII's great riverside palace with Wren's baroque additions and the famous maze, sits at the borough's western end. Ham House, Marble Hill, Strawberry Hill — Horace Walpole's Gothic Revival villa that launched an architectural movement — and Syon across the water complete the group.
Twickenham is the home of English rugby. Twickenham Stadium, opened in 1909 on a former market garden — hence the Cabbage Patch — is the largest dedicated rugby union venue in the world with 82,000 seats. The borough also has the Richmond Theatre, the National Archives at Kew, and a long association with writers and musicians, from Alexander Pope at Twickenham to Eel Pie Island's 1960s R&B club, where the Rolling Stones, the Who and Rod Stewart all played.
The borough is served by the District line, the Overground and South Western Railway. Housing ranges from Georgian and early Victorian property in Richmond, Kew and Twickenham — among the most expensive in Britain — to Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Barnes, Mortlake and Teddington, interwar semis in Whitton and Hampton, and limited post-war estates.
