Why Twickenham Works for Every Stage of Life

Living in Twickenham means having easy access to some of London’s most beautiful green spaces. Richmond Park is just a short distance away, offering acres of ancient woodland, cycle paths, and picnic spots, meaning you can pack up a picnic, hop on your bike and enjoy lunch on the grass with friends or family as often as you like. Twickenham Green provides a peaceful spot for relaxing afternoons or weekend games, and for those who love the sound of regular riverside walks, the Thames towpath delivers beautiful views, especially near Eel Pie Island and Marble Hill Park. Green spaces like these bring balance to daily life and offer an escape from the city without even having to leave London.

Twickenham combines calm living with everyday convenience. You can leave your front door and be in central London in just 25 minutes thanks to fast trains from Twickenham Station. Nearby Richmond Station connects you to the District Line and Overground, opening up even more of the city with ease. Whether you’re heading to the office, a gallery in town, or a dinner in Soho, you can do it all, then come home to somewhere that feels like a retreat

Picture a place where children walk to outstanding schools, neighbours know each other by name, and weekends are filled with local events that bring everyone together. The area is home to a range of top-rated schools, both state and independent, creating confidence for families putting down roots. Beyond the classroom, Twickenham Green hosts seasonal fairs, local sports matches, and community get-togethers that make it feel less like a town and more like a neighbourhood. It’s the kind of place where long-term living feels natural and where families grow and stay.

Step outside and stroll into a town centre full of charm. Church Street and Twickenham High Street are lined with independent cafés, boutiques, bakeries, and weekend markets that turn everyday errands into something much more enjoyable.

Sunday lunches spill out onto the terrace at The White Swan, while locals gather at The Barmy Arms for after-work drinks by the river. For those focused on wellness, the area is filled with yoga studios, gyms, and wellness spaces designed to keep life balanced and energised.
