A fantastic riverside location means pretty walks abound in the local area. Meander your way from the impressive Strawberry Hill House with its charming gardens towards Eel Pie Island and on to Orleans House Gallery. You’ll come to the historic Marble Hill House just before you reach East Twickenham, while you can cross the Thames to explore the 72-hectare Ham Lands. 

 

A touch further east you’ll find the stunning Richmond Park, while back on your own bank of the river you can head south to the expansive Bushy Park and Hampton Court Park, famous for its royal palace. Oh, and then there’s the small matter of the 80,000-seater Twickenham Stadium, where you can cheer on the England rugby union team, go on a stadium tour and visit the World Rugby Museum. 

 

 

There’s a great choice of schools in Twickenham, with St Mary’s CofE and St Richard Reynolds Catholic Primary two top options for younger children. They’re both classed as outstanding by Ofsted, along with Orleans Primary and Twickenham Primary Academy.
