This modern pad is an ideal base for friends and family keen to visit London yet escape the hustle and bustle of the city. We love the space here, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out across the home’s three floors. In the city on business? The top floor boasts an open space, complete with a desk neatly tucked away for remote work. With nearby attractions like Marble Hill House, Richmond Riverside, Richmond Park, and Turner's House, there's plenty to explore right on your doorstep. For trips further afield, St Margarets Station is a short walk away, with trains into central London every fifteen minutes.

Local guide
About Twickenham
Most famous for being the home of English Rugby, insiders know that there is much more to Twickenham than sport. Its high street might be slightly uninspiring but you don't have to stray far off it to find the leafy streets of period houses and quaint riverside pubs (our favourite is The White Swan) to realise what makes this part of town so popular with affluent young families looking to get away from hectic central London. The delights of Richmond and its world-class park are just a short walk away.

Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Grab a Coffee at Tide Tables
Sat next to the river this spot is a popular one for the view but also sells delicious coffee and is the best vegan & veggie spot in town. No breakfast menu but you can get a wicked croissant or cake.
Explore Richmond’s finest art at Orleans Gallery
A far cry from the big names of the Tate and the National Gallery, this small museum of local rarities is a haven for art and history lovers. The aptly named Octagon room is a particular highlight.
Grab a pint at the Eel Pie Pub
If you don’t fancy the trip to the stadium, this is the perfect pub for enjoying the rugby on the telly with a pint in hand. Great pub-grub and cosy interiors make it a lovely spot for a rainy day.
Learn about the Rock n’ Roll history of Eel Pie Island Museum
It’s hard to believe that the tranquil Eel Pie Island used to play host to music giants like the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton. Find out the full story in this charming trip down musical folklore.
Step into the tranquil York House Gardens
A hidden gem of the area, the statues and manicured Japanese gardens of York House transport you to another time and continent. Try to catch the late afternoon sun to see it in all its glory.
Eat day or night at The Ivy Cafe Richmond
The Richmond branch of this institution is open seven days a week and offers all day dining within a friendly, stylish setting full of colourful Art Deco features.
Enjoy the Cosy Atmosphere at The White Cross
Lively bar with a spacious terrace offering wonderful river views. Friendly staff, great selection of drinks, and delicious food menu. Dog-friendly and perfect for a relaxing evening by the Thames.
Take a walk through Marble Hill Park
A stunning 66-acre park with open lawns, sports fields, and a Palladian villa. Enjoy strolling, picnicking, and admiring the beautiful trees.
Explore the Georgian elegance of Marble Hill
Discover the beauty of this Palladian villa set in picturesque parkland. Admire the hand-painted Chinese wallpaper, Georgian artworks, and breathtaking views of the Thames. Enjoy a leisurely stroll in the gardens and relax at the delightful café.
