North Richmond

North Richmond ward occupies the northern section of the Richmond upon Thames borough, directly bordering the River Thames. Its residential streets are characterised by a mix of Edwardian and Victorian housing, alongside more modern apartment developments. The area provides a quieter residential alternative to the bustling town centre further south, with local shopping parades catering to daily needs. Large green spaces are not its primary feature, but it offers direct pedestrian access to the river's towpath.

The ward's western edge is defined by the expansive grounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This proximity influences the area's atmosphere, with well-tended residential gardens and tree-lined avenues. Transport links include the North London Line railway service from Kew Gardens station, providing direct connections into central London. The Thames Path runs along its boundary, offering scenic walks towards Richmond Bridge and Isleworth.
