Hampton Wick Local Information
Hampton Wick is an area in the London Borough of Richmond. It now
lies in the London commuter belt although development is constrained
by the surrounding areas of Bushey Park, Hampton Court Park and
the River Thames. Until the beginning of the 20th century the town
was famous for its market gardens.
Historically Hampton Wick can be traced back to Roman times with
evidence of a Roman ford crossing the Thames linking the village
with Kingston upon Thames. The first bridge replacing this ford
was built in 1219.
Cardinal Wolsey, the Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII lived in Hampton
Wick while waiting for Hampton Court Palace to be built. His house
still exists in Lower Teddington Road. The building of the palace
produced employment and shops and inns were built to serve it.
Sir Richard Steele, the Irish writer and politician also lived
in the village during the time he became surveyor of the royal stables
at Hampton Court Palace and a knight.
Hampton Wick has an antique market that is open daily from 10:30
– 6:00 except Sundays. It’s located in Vicarage Road
and is a perfect place to find collectables, jewellery, period furniture
and paintings.
