Twickenham sits on a sweeping northward bend of the Thames, roughly ten miles southwest of central London. While it is internationally recognised as the home of English rugby, the town’s character is defined more by its riverside geography and its layers of seventeenth and eighteenth-century history. At its heart lies Church Street, a narrow, paved lane of independent shops that leads toward the river and the historic Church of St Mary’s. Unlike some of its more manicured neighbours, Twickenham feels varied; it stretches from the grand villas and open spaces of Marble Hill Park and York House Gardens to the quieter, suburban pockets of Strawberry Hill and Whitton. The river remains a working part of the landscape here, evidenced by the boatyards on Eel Pie Island - a spot famous for its jazz and rock heritage - and the pedestrian ferry that still shuttles people across the water to Ham House. It is a well-connected corner of the borough, with fast rail links into Waterloo, yet it manages to retain the proportions of a riverside village.
