The
London Borough of Richmond upon Thames includes
Richmond, Kew, Barnes, Ham, Sheen, Mortlake, Twickenham, Teddington, Whitton and
Hampton. We think it's the greatest community in Greater London.
The name was 'created' in 1963, although interestingly
Twickenham has twice the population of Richmond and is
the home of the Borough Council offices for Richmond
upon Thames.
The town of Richmond is known as
Richmond Surrey (or
Richmond in Surrey). |

Richmond, Surrey
was named after Richmond, Yorkshire, from which Henry
VII drew his title of Earl of Richmond.
Richmond Bridge,
built in 1777, is the
oldest bridge still standing over the Thames in the
Greater London area.
The population of Richmond upon Thames in the 2001 census was 172,335
- with 76,146 households. There were 5,659 more women than men.
