Welcome to Ham & Petersham

Ham & Petersham is a quiet residential area on the Surrey side of the river between central Richmond and Kingston. Just nine miles from central London, cattle graze on Petersham meadows alongside the River Thames which is the centrepiece of the world-famous view from Richmond Hill. Ham & Petersham was also voted ‘Best Village in London’ by the RHS London in Bloom Award in 2017 and London in Bloom Gold winner for the last three successive years.

Ham House and Garden is a favourite National Trust property for both residents and visitors. On the first Saturday of the month there is the Ham Parade Market, which is a combination of artisan goods and fresh food.

Highlights: Ham House and Garden; Ham Pond, proximity to Richmond Park makes the area popular with walkers; Ham Fair.
