Twickenham Classic Walking Tour
A quirky and easy-paced historic and scenic walking tour to uncover the hidden gems of Twickenham, better known for its rugby stadium. You will pass Twickenham film studios, the rural retreat of landscape artist J.M.W.Turner, the handsome Palladian mansion of a royal mistress, and see the picturesque view across the Thames to historic Ham House and Richmond Hill. Then meander along the tree-lined riverbank to Orleans House, once the home of French royal exiles and now an art gallery and weddings venue. In York House gardens, prepare yourself to meet Twickenham's 'Naked Ladies' before taking in the classic waterfront and quirky Eel Pie Island, the home of rhythm & blues.
