An affluent residential district bordering the River Thames
Undoubtedly London’s most enchanting Borough
Just 19 minutes away from London Waterloo, Richmond offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of the inner city. Demand is always high for properties in and around the area, and it’s easy to see why, with more than its fair share of beautiful open spaces, including 3 Royal Parks, a plethora of excellent schools, buzzing town centre and the River Thames, which runs through the heart of the borough.
Richmond boasts the longest stretch of the River Thames and it runs for over 10 miles through the borough, linking Hampton Court Palace, Richmond Town Centre and Kew Gardens with London.
Richmond has long been a favourite retreat for Royalty and the rich and famous, including King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and King George III.
