Richmond-Upon-Thames RICHMOND-UPON-THAMES VisitRichmond Reiseführer ©Ian Thomas www.visitrichmond.co.uk WILLKOMMEN IN RICHMOND UPON THAMES Vorwort Richmond upon Thames ist ein fantastischer Ort zum Leben, Arbeiten, Lernen und Besuchen. Dies ist ein Stadtteil mit einer reichen Geschichte und einer Vielzahl von Attraktionen, die Sie sicher während ihres Aufenthaltes hier beschäftigen werden. Sie betreten die Heimat weltberühmter Sehenswürdigkeiten; wie den Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, den Hampton Court Palace und Home of English Rugby, das Twickenham Stadion, wo Sie das World Rugby Museum besuchen oder eine Tour durch das 80.000-Sitze-Stadion unternehmen können. Der Stadtteil liegt nur wenige Minuten vom Fluss entfernt und hat eine wundervolle Auswahl an historischen Herrenhäusern und versteckten Juwelen, in denen Sie den Tag verbringen können. In Twickenham können Sie die Orleans House Gallery besuchen, die einst die französische und englische Aristokratie beherbergte, und den vor kurzen renovierten Octagon Raum bestaunen. Besuchen Sie während Ihres Aufenthalts das Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond oder verlieren Sie sich in unserem musikalischen Erbe auf Eel Pie Island, wo Superstars wie Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton und die Rolling Stones ihre Karriere begannen. Die heutigen Besucher der Insel können Live-Musik im Crawdaddy Club, im Eel Pie Island Club und im Bulls Head genießen. Jeder, der einen Tag in der Gemeinde verbracht hat, hat keinen Zweifel daran, warum einige unserer berühmtesten früheren Bewohner, darunter Künstler wie JW Turner und Alexander Pope beschlossen, hier ihr Zuhause zu machen. Und warum Königin Elisabeth I. und Heinrich VIII. den Stadtteil als königlichen Rückzugsort nutzten. Wir sind stolz darauf, der schönste Stadtteil in London zu sein, und ohne Zweifel werden Sie sehen warum. 2 Twitter: Visit_Richmond1 Facebook: Visit-Richmond-Surrey www.visitrichmond.co.uk Wir haben über 160 Parks, Gemeindegebiete und Wälder, darunter den größten Royal Park - Richmond Park, der jedes Jahr Millionen von Besuchern anzieht. Dies ist der einzige Stadtteil Londons, der sich auf beiden Seiten der Themse befindet. Im Sommer können Sie mit dem Boot vom Londons Stadtzentrum zum Hampton Court Palace fahren, von wo aus Sie einen Blick auf die historische Architektur von Ham House und Marble Hill House werfen können. Wenn Sie unseren grünen Stadtteil erkunden, werden Sie vergessen, daß Sie nur eine 20-minütige Zugfahrt vom Zentrum Londons entfernt sind und Sie eine reichhaltige Auswahl von Transportmitteln - Boot, Bahn, Bus und U-Bahn - haben. Wenn Sie über Nacht bleiben, können Sie aus einer Vielzahl von Unterkünften und tollen Restaurants wählen, die Ihnen einen herzlichen Empfang bieten. Ich heiße Sie herzlichst Willkommen und hoffe, daß Sie mit guten Erinnerungen an Londons grünsten Stadtteil abreisen. Cllr Gareth Roberts Vorsitzender, Richmond upon Thames Council 3 Twitter: Visit_Richmond1 Facebook: Visit-Richmond-Surrey www.visitrichmond.co.uk KINGS AND QUEENS / KÖNIGE UND KÖNIGINNEN Im 13. Jahrhundert hieß Richmond Sheen oder Shene, aber als Heinrich VII. den Richmond Palace baute, erhielt die Stadt ihren Namen Richmond. Sie können noch heute die Überreste des Palastes besichtigen und eine Gedenktafel sehen, die an Heinrich VII. und Elisabeth I. erinnert. Richmond upon Thames war ein beliebter Rückzugsort von Königen, Malern, Schriftstellern und Musikern; und wenn Sie hierher kommen, sehen Sie Architektur aus den Zeiten von den Stuarts und Georgian. Der weltberühmte Hampton Court Palace war einst die Residenz von Heinrich VIII., Wilhelm III., Maria II. und anderen Königen aus der Zeit um 1500 bis zum 18. Jahrhundert. Der weltberühmte Kew Gardens wurde 1759 von Prinzessin Augusta und Lord Bute gegründet; er ist der erste und größte botanische Garten der Welt. Kew Palace, das früheste erhaltene Gebäude in den Gärten, war einst das Zuhause von König George III. und Königin Charlotte. Wagen Sie sich auf 253 Stufen zur Spitze der kürzlich eröffneten Großen Pagode und genießen Sie einen spektakulären Blick über London. Marble Hill House, eine elegante palladianische Villa, die in den 1720er Jahren für Henrietta Howard, der Geliebten von König George II, erbaut wurde, liegt an der Themse und am gegenüberliegenden Ufer, attraktiv durch Hammertons Passagierfähre verbunden, liegt Ham House and Gardens, ein stimmungsvolles Stuart Herrenhaus erbaut im Jahre 1610.

With half-term about to commence, Achieving for Children will run a food voucher scheme to address the pressing issue of local hard-pressed and vulnerable families in the borough not being able to cover the cost of meals during the school holiday. Guidance will be launched early next week to let eligible families know how they can collect their voucher. Fourteen school streets now live in Richmond Earlier this year, Richmond Council used emergency powers to ensure that three local primary schools were the first in the borough to receive ‘School Street’ status prior to the summer holidays.

  • Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword
    Official January 2020 – December 2021 1 Official Radnor Gardens Management Plan 2020-21: Foreword Radnor Gardens are a vitally important asset for local people and visitors to the borough. The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (the Council) aspires to maintain and manage the Gardens to the highest standards. This management plan is based on the use of an audit of the park following central government guidance known as PPG 17. This is explained within this document but the approach is based on common sense. We believe that it is important to get the simple things right. Is the green space clean and tidy? Is the grass cut? Are the trees and shrubs well maintained? Is any graffiti removed effectively and quickly? Working with local communities to deliver the highest quality of service is top priority and it is hoped that this document will provide a framework for continuing and improving dialogue. The site will be maintained appropriately and the local community will be consulted on any proposed changes or improvements to facilities or infrastructure. In particular, the borough works closely with the Friends of Radnor Gardens. We actively encourage suggestions about all aspects of the park. While the Council is open to the changing needs of the community with regards to any of the borough’s parks, the Gardens are long established and are well maintained. There have been major renovations over the last few years, these include the installation of a new playground; repairs to the boundary wall; shrub bed replanting; transformation of a parks building into a café kiosk and renovation of the bowling green.

  • The Teddington Society
    The Teddington Society NEWSLETTER No. 53 — MARCH 1986 TWO ITEMS FROM THE CHAIRMAN Are you aware of your environment? Of the wildlife that goes on around you in spite of the suburban hustle and bustle? We would like to stimulate your interest by having a competition in which we would ask you for a year to keep a nature diary, or some sort of record of a project: grey squirrels, bats, foxes, etc. The eighteenth century vicar of Teddington, Stephen Hales, suggested to Gilbert White that he keep a nature diary, and in a letter to Dames Barrington, White wrote, “If I was to attempt anything it would be somewhat of a natural history of my native parish — comprising a journal for a whole year and illustrated with large notes and observations. Such a beginning might induce more able naturalists to write the history of various districts.” In this area alone we have churchyards, railways sidings, Bushey Park, and the river. Professional naturalists rely on amateurs for much of their knowledge, so if you are interested contact me, Pat Counsell on 977 3735. Richmond Upon Thames Arts Council runs a poetry competition every year - this year’s is the 16th - for young people, aged between 11 and 18. To be eligible you have to either live or study in the Borough of Richmond. Each entrant may send in as many poems as they like for 50p, and entries must be in by 27th March. If you know of anyone who would like to enter a poem, please send their entries with 50p which goes towards the cost of the hall for the prize-giving and the prizes, to me, Mrs.

Old buildings and places can be given back their dignity. Others are finding a new lease of life with completely different uses. Still more are being renewed by a combination of both reinvention and restoration.

  • Kilmorey Mausoleum
    Kilmorey Mausoleum Designed in the Egyptian style, the mausoleum is raised on an octagonal stone base with cast-iron railings and gates (only a section of the railings survive). It is built of contrasting pink and grey granite with battered sides and a coved cornice. There is a double-cobra-headed winged sun in the coving over the entrance flanked by stylised lotus flowers. The roof (hidden by the coving) is of glass and the door bronze. Inside are the two coffins and, on the back wall, a marble relief carved by Lawrence Macdonald in Rome. This shows the dying Miss Hoste lying on a settee, with the Earl kneeling by her side accompanied by their 10 year old son Charles (1844-1934). Architect(s) H E Kendall Senior Listing Grade II (England and Wales) Year Created 1854 Style Egyptian Revival History The mausoleum was built by Francis Jack Needham, 2nd Earl of Kilmorey (1787-1880) for his mistress, Miss Priscilla Hoste (1823-1854): the Earl is also buried there. The Earl of Kilmorey, ‘Black Jack’ as he was known, was a restless and eccentric man. Although married, he either eloped with, or abducted, the young Priscilla Hoste, who seems to have become his ward following the death of her father. When the couple had lived together for some ten years Priscilla became fatally ill and, when she died in 1854, the mausoleum was initially erected in Brompton Cemetery, supposedly at a cost of £30,000. The building was moved twice by the Earl; first when he went to live at Woburn Park, near Weybridge, and then in 1868 to its present location near his next home, Gordon House.
