Twickenham is a town in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in the south-west of London
It is best known as the home of Twickenham Stadium - the headquarters of the Rugby Football Union. Over the years the stadium has encouraged the growth of the disproportionately large number of public houses and eateries in the area. Twickenham is also notable for its arts heritage and is the home of the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall.
The town is bordered on the south-eastern side by the River Thames and Eel Pie Island - which is connected to the Twickenham embankment by a narrow footbridge erected in the mid-1953, prior to which access was my means of a hand-operated ferry that was hauled across using a chain on the riverbed. The land adjacent to the river, from Strawberry Hill in the south, to Marble Hill Park in the north, is occupied with a mixture of luxury dwellings, formal gardens, public houses and a newly built park and leisure facility.
Twickenham proper begins in the vicinity of Pope's Grotto, with a large and expensive residential area of (mostly) period houses to the west, and a number of exclusive properties to the east - on or near the river. Further to the north and west lies the district of Whitton, a less expensive area of Twickenham with largely 1930s housing. The fashionable district of St. Margarets lies immediately to the north east of Twickenham Town Centre and is popular for its attractive tree-lined residential roads and an eclectic range of shops and cafes. Much of St. Margarets adjacent to the River Thames was formerly Twickenham Park, the estate of Sir Francis Bacon, the 16th Century philospher and Lord Chancellor. St. Margarets is also the home of Twickenham Studios, one of London's most important film studios. The London suburb of Isleworth lies to the north of Twickenham and St. Margarets.
In 1926 Twickenham was constituted as a 'borough'. 11 years later the urban district Councils of Teddington, Hampton & Hampton Wick merged with Twickenham. In 1965 the boroughs of Twickenham, Richmond & Barnes amalgamated to become the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.
