Ham & Petersham is a delighful area. Just 9 miles from central London cattle graze on Petersham meadows alongside the River Thames, which has been the centrepiece of the world-famous view from Richmond Hill. On the way down to the Thames you will find some of the finest Victorian and Georgian houses in the Richmond area.

From the top of Richmond Hill you can see Ham House, an outstanding Stuart house, filled with 17th century furniture and textiles. Petersham Meadows were part of the Ham House estate from the early 17th Century until the latter years of the 19th Century.

Richmond Park borders the area, and can be accessed through the Richmond Gate, Petersham Gate or the Ham Gate.
