From the outskirts
of Greater London, the River Thames passes Hampton Court,
Kingston, Teddington, Twickenham, Richmond (with the
famous view of the Thames from Richmond Hill), Syon
House and Kew before flowing through central London.
Richmond upon Thames is the only London
Borough to straddle both sides of the Thames. One of the best walks in Richmond upon Thames starts by Richmond Bridge on the town side and meanders down to Teddington Lock. It takes about an hour and you'll pass Ham House and Marble Hill House on the way. |

RICHMOND RIVER TRIVIA |
 Richmond Bridge
was
built in
1777 to
replace an earlier
ferry boat crossing
across the Thames. It was a toll bridge until 1859
and widened in 1937-39. |
Did you know
that in the 17th and 18th Centuries it was
quite normal for the River Thames to freeze over during
the winter? The River Thames is 215 miles long and drains a catchment area of 4,994 square miles. |
