Twickenham area guide

Twickenham is renowned for its iconic rugby heritage. Situated on the banks of the Thames, this South West London district benefits from a peaceful riverside setting and offers convenient access to central London. Investors and homebuyers will discover a range of Georgian and Victorian properties and luxurious, modern developments here.

Twickenham was once a rural retreat for aristocrats, with grand houses such as York House and Marble Hill House dotting its riverside. It retains most of that old-world charm today, with Montpelier Row offering picturesque Georgian homes overlooking Marble Hill Park. Public transport is well-served by Twickenham Station, with fast connections to Waterloo.

For culture and recreation, Twickenham is home to many independent shops, cafés and restaurants, particularly along Church Street. There’s also a lively arts scene, with the Orleans House Gallery hosting exhibitions and the nearby Twickenham Museu, famous for its local history.

Besides rugby, this area is famous for its rich cultural offerings, including the historic Strawberry Hill House, a Gothic masterpiece and Eel Pie Island.
