What locals say about TW1
“A beautiful leafy suburb with great local schools and excellent transport links. We really like Crane Park for a long dog walk with its nature reserve and shot tower. The Whitton part of Twickenham has a quieter feel and 1930s charm. ”
Dan
“Twickenham is a town of three parts - the beautiful old part, the modern high street and the quiet, residential Twickenham Green area.”
SM
“It may be small but St Margarets rocks. Great cafes and independent shops - and within walking distance of Richmond.”
