The History of Twickenham
(Twickenham, TW1/TW2 London borough of Richmond upon Thames, Greater London)
Twickenham is a town in south west London on the River Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, located 10 miles (16 km) southwest of the centre of
London. The administrative headquarters of the borough are at York House in Twickenham, which is of equal importance to Richmond in the London Plan. It expanded
rapidly during the suburban growth of London from 1881 until 1961, when its population grew and its farms and common were converted to other use. In 1926 it was
incorporated as the Municipal Borough of Twickenham, which merged into the present Greater London borough in 1965.
This area has three grand period mansions with public access: York House, Marble Hill and Strawberry Hill House. Another has been lost, that belonging to 18th
century aphoristic poet Alexander Pope. Among these is the Neo-Gothic prototype home of Horace Walpole which has given its name to a whole district, Strawberry
Hill, and is linked with the oldest Roman Catholic university in the country, St Mary's University, Twickenham. Twickenham's demonym is 'the home of English
rugby': the home of the Rugby Football Union is at Twickenham, as is Twickenham Rugby Stadium, the world's largest stadium officially solely for rugby but which
also hosts seasonal and particularly charity music concerts.
In November 2014 Richmond upon Thames Council purchased three retail premises and a car park and announced plans to develop a public square in this space that
would connect the Twickenham riverside and the High Street areas.
