Tucked along the tidal River Thames in southwest London, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is a place whose character is shaped by the river’s bends, riverside commons and large royal parks. Formed in 1965 from the former boroughs of Richmond, Twickenham and Barnes, it brings together several historic centres rather than one town core. Richmond Park, once a royal hunting ground, is London’s largest Site of Special Scientific Interest and is known for its free-roaming red and fallow deer. The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while Twickenham Stadium is England’s national rugby union stadium.
