Quick answer

What is living in
Twickenham
like?

Twickenham sits on the north bank of the Thames between Richmond and Teddington. The old village around Church Street and St Mary’s Church runs down to the Embankment, facing Eel Pie Island, while Marble Hill, Orleans House and York House line the river. St Margarets was laid out from 1854 as an early garden suburb, Strawberry Hill grew after its station opened in 1873 and Twickenham Green lies to the west. The rebuilt station has trains to Waterloo via Richmond. Walk the routes around each home at different times of day.

Why people move here

For some, it is a St Margarets villa near one of the estate’s private gardens. For others, it is a Victorian house in Strawberry Hill or a flat close to the river and the station.

A practical shortlist

Compare tenure, lease length, service charges and outdoor space for each property. Then walk the route to the station, see the street at different times of day and check how easily you can reach the parks and the shops you will use.

Property market

Understanding
Twickenham
’s sales market

Ranges come from completed sales recorded by HM Land Registry, matched to EPC floor areas where possible. Compare individual homes on their exact size, tenure, lease length, service charges and setting.

Twickenham is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, larger villas in St Margarets and near the river, and flats close to the station and town centre. Compare individual properties on their exact size, tenure, lease length and street setting.

The right comparison matters.

Compare flats and houses on a like-for-like basis: size, tenure, lease length and street setting all deserve attention. A broad TW1 or TW2 average is not a valuation of any particular home.

Asking is not achieved

An asking price is the seller’s advertised figure. An achieved price is the completed sale amount. Asking £/sq ft and achieved £/sq ft must use clearly identified, comparable datasets and floor-area methods.

Prices across Richmond upon Thames were unchanged in the year to August 2026: flats fell 2.6% and terraced houses rose 1.1% (UK House Price Index). For an individual home, compare it with recent sales of a similar size, type and street.

Choose for the life you’ll lead.

When renting in Twickenham, think about whether you want to be near the station and town centre, the river, St Margarets or Strawberry Hill, and how you will get to work. The condition of the property, outdoor space and layout all matter.

Always review the full monthly costs, including any additional fees, and carefully examine the tenancy terms. If you are letting rooms, check licensing first: larger HMOs need a mandatory licence, and many councils license smaller ones too.

Yield is indicative, not investment advice: median recorded rent against the median achieved price for a similar-sized flat. It is not an achieved yield. 4+ bed yields are not shown because those rents are borough-wide.
