About

North Barnes occupies a bend of the Thames in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, characterised by its quiet residential streets and proximity to riverside paths. The area is largely composed of family homes, ranging from Victorian terraces to more modern developments, set along tree-lined roads. Its western edge is defined by the open green spaces of Barn Elms Playing Fields, which provide extensive sports facilities and walking areas away from the main riverfront.

A notable feature is the presence of the historic Barnes Railway Bridge, a listed structure with a separate pedestrian footbridge offering views over the tidal river and the wetlands beyond. The local high street, Barnes High Street, serves as a central hub with independent shops and cafes. The area maintains a distinct separation from busier urban centres, partly due to its position within a protected Metropolitan Open Land corridor that limits development.
