Delightful food and ambience and only a 7 minute walk from Twickenham Station!

This little café may be small, but it's the perfect place for a relaxing cake and coffee.

Sunshine & Ravioli

A lovely café and lunch venue that is extremely popular with the local crowds. Owner Maurizio is a local character who knows everyone and makes a mean coffee.

St Margarets Fair

St Margarets Fair

Held once a year, it's a great day out for all the family - live bands, face painting and traditional games.

Marble Hill House

This beautiful 18th century Georgian house is set in stunning parkland close to the Thames. You can go on a guided tour of the house for a fee or just enjoy the park for free.

Gorgeous gastro pub near Marble Hill Park - great for Sunday roasts but book ahead!

York House Gardens

York House Gardens

A beautiful garden on the banks of Thames in Twickenham with sculptures made from renowned Italian white Carrara marble.

Ches's Trattoria

Ches's Trattoria

During the day this place functions as a greasy spoon café usually full of builders, but in the evening it turns into an amazing, authentic, family run Italian restaurant. The food is to die for and because they don't have an alcohol licence, its BYOB!

North Stables Café

North Stables Café

A quirky place for a coffee and cake, while walking along Twickenham's Riverside.

St Margarets

St Margarets

Close to St Margarets Station, this place is a cosy 'old man' style pub with a welcoming atmosphere.

The Turk's Head

"In the mid-1700s, Horace Walpole bought Strawberry Hill House and transformed it into a gothic villa. It was here that he was inspired to write what is considered the first ever gothic novel, 'Castle of Otranto'."

Twickenham has a lot to offer, including many pubs by the Thames with gardens that open out right onto the river bank.

Greg Boxer

Twickenham Green retains an old village green feel, with its cricket pitch and surrounding restaurants and cafes.

There are some fantastic views along The Embankment in Twickenham looking towards Eel Pie Island!

What locals say about Twickenham

  1. 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.

  2. I love watching the cricket on Twickenham Green in the summer. There are also some fantastic river walks in the area and on a summer's day, famous Marble Hill Park is great for a picnic.

  3. Twickenham is a town of three parts - the beautiful old part, the modern high street and the quiet, residential Twickenham Green area.

  4. Beautiful parks, great schools, close to London on the Overground and lots of waterways and wildlife.

About Twickenham

Twickenham is a large suburban town 10 miles southwest of central London and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Twickenham expanded and increased in population. There are a large number of fine houses in the area, many of them Victorian. Twickenham is bordered on the south-eastern side by the River Thames and Eel Pie Island — which is connected to the Twickenham embankment by a narrow footbridge erected in 1957, prior to which access was by means of a hand-operated ferry that was hauled across using a chain on the riverbed. The land adjacent to the river, from Strawberry Hill in the south to Marble Hill Park in the north, is occupied by a mixture of luxury dwellings, formal gardens, public houses and a newly built park and leisure facility.
