Nerdy fact: The London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames is the only London Borough that crosses the river all the others adjacent to the Thames use the river as a boundary! Nothing to do with trains ...just came up in a quiz once...!

[@acciid]

It can get more nerdy than that. Further up the river, once you get past Ham, the south side of the river is Kingston borough but the north is Richmond (even though Richmond itself is South, or on the Surrey side). The council offices are in Twickenham (the borough was merged with Twickenham and Barnes). Richmond also has a Twickenham postcode.

[@sihollett]

Not a borough (though only because of technicalities), but The City of London crosses the River, with the boundary coming south from the middle of the Thames to include all of Blackfriars Bridge (the road one). London Bridge and Southwark Bridge aren't marked on maps as being inside the boundaries, but there are City crests at their southern ends (and London Bridge has a dragon on a plinth on either side of the road at that south end)

[@DarthCoco]

Interesting to know indeed.

[@englishciderlover7347]

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames also has the only bridge over the Thames that has one bank outside Greater London, Hampton Court Bridge, whose southern bank is in Elmbridge, Surrey.

[@norbitonflyer5625]

@@acciid In fact, because the river is so wiggly around Teddington, the "south" or "Surrey" bank is actually north of the "north" ("Middlesex") bank. In summer you can stand at Teddington Lock, facing downstream, and see the sun set.

The main Amtrak (U.S.) station for Richmond (Virginia) is actually in Glen Allen (Staples Mill Road). But I think it appears as Richmond on the timetables. There is also a Main Street station in the heart of the city, also served by Amtrak.

As a historian and train nerd and writer of a book on Peter of Savoy, I can confirm that Richmond, Yorkshire is in fact the daddy of all Richmonds ….meaning strong hill, upon which the castle was built, William the Conqueror gifted Richmond and the Honour of Richmond (half of Yorkshire and lots of Norfolk, Suffolk and Lincs) to Alan Rufus of Brittany who came over with him on the boat. By the 13th century it had been reclaimed by the crown and gifted to Peter of Savoy (the queens uncle) who built the palace in London upon which the hotel now stands. His stylised statue stands over the hotel entrance. Richmond Surrey was named after the one in Yorkshire….all others followed named for Surrey or Yorkshire. The most famous of which was of course the Confederate capital, Richmond, Virginia. Sadly the NER branch from Darlington to the original Richmond was closed by Beeching, but the station building survives.

[@pedanticradiator]

And the Yorkshire one was named after Richemont in France

Here's a tenuous nerdy Underground fact about Richmond. Back in the 1980s Thames TV had a sitcom called Shelley (starring Hywel Bennett). In one episode he is stuck on an Underground train and the studio mock-up was of a 1973 Stock (pre refurb). When they finally get off the train they are seen heading up some steps, supposedly from an Underground station but in fact it was the steps from a below ground gents toilet in George Street, Richmond! It was located near to Lower George Street and i have a feeling they are no longer there......

[@fosterfuchs]

Richmond was my home station during my first two semesters in college (1987/88). An "Annus Horribilis" for London Transport (as they were called then). With the King's Cross fire, and a District Line train went through the buffers at Richmond.

Very interesting video - thanks Geoff! But it is worth stressing the original 'Richmond' is the one in Yorkshire. The Richmond in London/Surrey was named after the one in Yorkshire! It is unsurprising that the name Richmond appears in many other English speaking countries.

[@acciid]

Someone might correct me, but I think that Richmond upon Thames was originally called Sheen, before being renamed by the Duke of Richmond (or earl or whatever).

[@jamesaitken5653]

​@@acciidindeed it was called Sheen. Don't think it was renamed deliberately by the Duke of Richmond (future Henry IV), rather he built his Palace, the Duke of Richmond's Palace, here. Which came to be known as Richmond Palace for short, and then eventually the surrounding village (Sheen) adopted the name Richmond by osmosis. A bit like how Leeds Castle is in Kent...

[@sihollett]

@@jamesaitken5653 Wrong Henry (VII, not IV) - and he was Earl, not Duke, of Richmond (a title given to Henry's grandfather) before seizing the throne. And the 'Richmond' name of the Palace was deliberate. No one would have called King Henry VII 'Richmond' unless they wanted to spend a long time in the Tower (if they were lucky) - calling him by his former title (especially as it wasn't a royal title like York or Lancaster had been) rather than as King is not a wise move when a lot of people didn't believe him to be rightfully king. 'Richmond' would have been seen as an insult had Henry not deliberately used it himself for the name of the new palace he had built near where the previous one had stood before burning down. The town of Sheen then decided to rename itself like the Palace had been.

[@Rekeaki]

I used to go through and stop at the Australian (Melbourne) richmond station. For 17 years actually! Its a BIG station by melbourne standards. Every single eastern line passes through it and its the first eastern station you usually hit after coming out of the underground loop. You could pick who was a local by the fact that they knew that there was no point waiting for your train line to arrive if you are in “The Loop” catch virtually ANY eastern train (the one departing soonest and not going the long way around the underground loop) and simply hop over to your line at richmond to complete your journey. Almost ALWAYS faster than trying to catch the correct train first thing while you are still in the loop. As a result, Richmond has huge crowds of people switching platforms with almost every train that comes in. Its also one of the nearest stations to the MCG stadium, and you had better believe we all dreaded the end of match homeward rush!
