RICHMOND, London
Leafy Richmond, with over 2,500 acres of
royal parks and miles of river bank feels more akin to rural
Surrey or Middlesex than London. Prosperous with great properties,
fantastic parks, good transport links and schools, Richmond
remains a highly sought after location and a barren ground
for bargain hunters.
The Green, surrounded by elegant Georgian and earlier houses,
is the core and the main shopping area of the town. Prices
range from £1.8 million to £5 million here. As
you go south and up Richmond Hill, towards the Park there
are more Victorian houses with views across the river and
beyond to Ham House. The rest of the Hill is made up predominantly
of detached and semi-detached houses of approximately 3,000
to 4,000 square feet and ranging in price from £1.5
- £3 million.
The Thames dominates both the geography
and the character of the borough. Barnes, with its mixture
of large affluent homes and village cottages, resides at Richmond's
most northern tip. Pretty Kew, Sheen and Richmond itself follow
the Thames west, whilst busy Twickenham sits opposite on the
rivers northern banks. Teddington follows the river south,
whilst suburban Whitton and Hampton lie east at the border
with neighbouring Hounslow.
Schools are plentiful and some of the best
in the country with Ibstock Place at the eastern end of the
park where the parents' list reads like a Who's Who of the
entertainment world and the American and German Schools.
Access is relatively straightforward on
the map, with both a fast mainline link to Waterloo (25 minutes)
and the terminus of the District line (one hour to the City).
However, travelling by car is difficult, particularly when
the A316 (linking to M3) the south circular is afflicted by
the school run.
