Love this part of London, it's where I decided to settle. Grew up in Feltham Hounslow borough (rough times I had as a child), but have always had connections here and it really is a paradise in London (and I've lived all over). Twickenham is the sweet-spot. Well nice, no need to have one eye over your shoulder ever, and not pretentious like Richmond - Twickenham is a good mix of decent peoples. Having lived and traveled all over the world, this is where I choose to settle.

[@LondonDistricts]

Thanks for the comment.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

skabby Years ago there was a pantomime at Richmond Theatre. In the end the villain was banished to the most wretched corner of the kingdom. Twickenham. It's a Richmond in-joke.

Such an underrated channel. Keep up the good work

[@rosemaryriddle7292]

Oh I just loved this one on Richmond it reminds me of how life used to be in England. Thank you so.... much I just so look forward to each one you send me. Brings me home!

[@LondonDistricts]

Glad it could have this effect on you Rose. It's a very nice place indeed!

[@JayJay-nc7pr]

Richmond feels like it’s own little city away from the polluted stress machine that is London, hence why I’m moving over there next February! Its the one of two places within the Greater London boundaries I’d live in, I’m currently living in Blackheath which is also beautiful and similar to Richmond along with Greenwich

[@LondonDistricts]

Those are some highly formidable places right there!!

[@helenarichard]

I was there in 2005. It was so pretty. Like a dream outside of London. Green, clean and... still British

Thanks!

[@cantorsparadise]

I love these videos, Dewyne! I find them relaxing, atmospheric, and very interesting (even though I've lived in London for years I have learned surprising things from these videos about areas I thought I already knew). The music is also excellent!

[@misfit2022]

I used to have a friend on Richmond Hill so used to drink in Richmond but crazy busy to we used to walk over to Teddington as much quieter and easier to get served. I was there only a few weeks ago.

[@Adam10Burt]

Lovely place, if going to London again try visit this place

[@LondonDistricts]

It's definitely one to see along with the surrounding districts.

[@LondonDistricts]

That's a shame. Hopefully you can go back and visit though. That ice-cream was the one!

[@TerryTheNewsGirl]

If you have never visited Richmond, then go now! It is my favourite place to go when I want to chill out. It's well worth the trip from Leeds.

[@Oakleaf700]

Beautifully narrated. My childhood/teen early 20's home. Shame I couldn't afford to buy a place there so had to move West.

[@edinshealtiel3754]

RICHMOND IS AMAZING...THANKS BUT SO MUCH MORE TO SHOW OF RICHMOND ....

[@LondonDistricts]

Agreed. Once Twickenham, Kew and Kingston are done, there will be a more rounded picture of the borough.

Wow. Just saw this on TV on ‘London Live’

Really nice - but it was actor/director Richard Attenborough who lived by Richmond Green before he died - David Attenborough is also Richmond, but in the Richmond Hill area.

[@paullambert6287]

Roger Williams David lives up by The Hole In The Wall,as I remember.

This place seems so amazingly lovely and, as a Yank trying to uproot, I can’t imagine a place further from removed from where I currently am.

The music dosent help , but the info in the video and images are great , welll done and thank you !

[@paulmorris3613]

Very good, I love your views of London but this one really captures Richmond really well. You could have taken them up Richmond hill and the so-called look into the centre of London and mentioned the river walks.

[@gary3561]

You could fit almost 3 Central parks into Richmond park. Its fair to say that Richmond park could be classified as a reserve. Its a beautiful place

[@Oakleaf700]

Far fewer horses in Richmond park - when /I was a child there were loads of them, the riding tracks were wide and well used, some of the houses around had stables in their gardens - but these seem to have now been converted into dwellings for humans as the prices for homes have skyrocketed.

[@tbjdiamonddog]

Superb, im currently looking to rent there so recognised some areas

[@desapole]

Probably my favourite youtube series. Keep it up. Is there a particular order to which you go through the districts or do you pick them at random? Also, do you plan to eventually cover all districts of London or just the ones 'worth' covering?

[@LondonDistricts]

Really? wow thank you. There isn't any particular order, we just try and mix things up a bit. When I started the series, I was just experimenting around where I lived in south east London but I do plan to cover all 326 districts.

[@gdholmfirth]

Brilliant. Most excellent. I have enjoyed all of your Districts films. All very well done! The scene shown @ 4:38--A quiet lane in front of a small townhouse with a palm tree in front--Where in Richmond is that? What street can be seen in the background, with a car going by, as the man wheels his luggage along the path toward the camera? Many thanks.

[@LondonDistricts]

Thanks for the comment. That residential scene right beside the church in the following shot. It is called Church Walk and you can see Paradise Road in the background.

[@darganx]

Worked in Richmond in 2006, lovely place. Saw Kathy Freeman Olympic champion, Ray Stubbs BBC Presenter, and Richard Ashcroft from The Verve all out and about, shopping and stuff.. In the summer, during the World Cup we had 2 hour breaks in the pub watching games! BTW who is your music man, he's a genius!

Hi Dewyne! I used to get the H37 bus to Richmond with my college mates on one of our long lunch breaks during the late spring months. If we weren't dining in McDonalds, we used to sit by the river bank @3:50 and eat our Tesco sandwiches (how fancy, haha). I thought I''d give you an update to the comment I posted under this video of yours: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqTLqpehgZh6itE&lc=UgzDMW3R4SDlJd7bZb14AaABAg The last Southall Gasworks gas holders had been completely dismantled now, and the remnants of Southall's industrial history are quickly disappearing (the old Honey Monster Factory is still up for now). I'm sure you can get footage and images of the gas holder online. After much pressure to the council, three plaques have recently been unveiled on the 40th anniversary of the Southall Riots to commemorate Gurdip Singh Chaggar, Blair Peach, and Misty in Roots. I can provide you some photographs if needed. The main parts to film in Southall are King Street and The Green, South Road, Uxbridge Road, and if you have time, Norwood Green. Almost everything I mentioned in my original comment is along this route or just on the side roads. I've mentioned all the key moments in Southall's history, but if you need more help, I can get you in touch with a local historian. Looking forward to the video!

[@LondonDistricts]

Appreciate your contributions Rooky. I have them stored. You can also email me over any further stuff here... [e-mail]

[@RR-kp5ps]

Hi again Dewyne. I saw your videos on London Live, and it reminded me to give you an update on Southall. One of London's oldest black-owned music venues, Tudor Rose, is under threat of demolition, to be replaced with private flats. It's housed in an iconic century-old multiplex. There's currently an ongoing campaign to stop it. The only local market, one of London's oldest dating back to 1698, is also under threat. The proposal is to build more private flats on the site of Southall Market, while the market itself will be shrunken and pushed onto the pavement. The old Barclays building near the train station will also be turned into flats. The train station itself will be getting a new building. The aforementioned demolished landmark, Southall Gasworks, is causing toxic gasses to be released, and some deaths have been attributed to it. The entire community is losing its character. I would like to see whatever is left immortalised in a video. Congratulations on making onto the television screens.

[@TheVaughan5]

Great video (better without the music - lol) Wouldn't want to live anywhere else - The Great Park, The Green, The Thames River, wonderful 18th c houses, close to central London but away from mass tourism, close to beautiful Surrey/Sussex countryside, close enough to Heathrow if you want to go to Europe just for for a long week-end. Some great pubs/restaurants and of course possibly the best fish and chip shop in the U.K. - what's not to like!

[@LondonDistricts]

Glad you enjoyed it! Subtitles & mute?

[@gdholmfirth]

Best fish and chips shop, you say?😃 Please tell me the name of that shop. I am often craving fish & chips after a walk around beautiful Richmond. Many thanks!

Not showing the "common" peoples place and the off the main street places to go ! oh great for the ice cram guy who may have opened when Day villes closed ? What about the fantastic fish and ship shop just down the road and the great pubs ?
