Twickenham is famous for the stadium, but don’t let that put you off if you can’t tell a scrum from a scrunchie. This area is absolutely lovely, with a village feel right on the Thames.
You’ve got the beautiful Marble Hill Park, the Eel Pie Island arts scene, and enough riverside pubs to drown a small navy. The train into Waterloo is around 25 minutes, so you’re never far from the action.
On match days, the streets are buzzing with fans in funny hats. The rest of the time, it’s just a peaceful, pretty place to live. Perfect for anyone who wants green space and a glass of wine by the water.
