"The world's first ever facility for the production of gunpowder was set up along the River Crane between Twickenham and Whitton. Unsurprisingly, explosions on the site were common and in 1758 one was felt as far as Reading!"

What locals say about TW2

“A beautiful leafy suburb with great local schools and excellent transport links. We really like Crane Park for a long dog walk with its nature reserve and shot tower. The Whitton part of Twickenham has a quieter feel and 1930s charm. ”

“Whitton is perfect for us. We moved here last year from Balham to start a family as the schools in Richmond Upon Thames are highly rated. Whitton is the quiet part of Twickenham, where you get slightly more for your money. We looked at the Twickenham riverside area and neighbouring Teddington, which are also lovely, but we decided upon Whitton as we could get off-street parking for the same money and it's in the same postcode. The high street has just been revamped and the main train station is being refurbished, which is great as we both work in central London. We were concerned that there could be noise from aircraft (being in South West London), but Whitton/Twickenham is far enough from the airport that we haven't noticed it. Heathrow is a good 5 miles away, so it's not an issue – great for going on holiday though! Whitton is highly recommended. ”

“I love watching the cricket on Twickenham Green in the summer. There are also some fantastic river walks in the area and on a summer's day, famous Marble Hill Park is great for a picnic.”
