Twickenham Local Information
Twickenham is a suburban town situated in the London Borough of
Richmond upon Thames. It is probably best known as the home of Twickenham
Stadium, the headquarters of the Rugby Football Union. There are
a very large number of public houses and eateries in the area. It
is also the home of the Royal Military School of Music.
The area was occupied as early as the Neolithic period and settlements
continued throughout the Bronze and Iron Age to the Roman occupation.
Twickenham suffered from the Bubonic Plague in 1605 with 67 deaths
being recorded. In the middle of the town there was a Watch House
with stocks, a pillory and a whipping post designed to give correction
to all beggars and vagabonds. In 1665, the plague struck Twickenham
again. This time 24 deaths were recorded.
By the 18th century the main industry was the manufacture of gunpowder.
This led to frequent explosions and loss of life with explosions
being felt as far away as Reading. The gunpowder mills remained
in operation until 1927. The 18th and 19th century saw fine houses
being built as Twickenham became a popular place to live with people
of ‘Fashion and Distinction’.
Nowadays Twickenham has a large and expensive residential area
full of exclusive housing to the east and west of the town and an
area of 1930’s housing to the north.

Car Hire Company will ensure that you receive the perfect van rental
