On the River Thames in south-west London, Richmond stands as one of London's most sought-after communities for families researching schools, with historic Richmond Park anchoring vast green spaces and protected conservation areas. The town derives its name from King Henry VII's Richmond Palace, built in the early 16th century; Georgian terraces remain particularly well preserved around Richmond Hill and Richmond Green. Richmond and Middleton Tyas form the school-competitive heart of the area, alongside Bolton-on-Swale and Ham, where catchment demand has long been concentrated. Richmond station, opened in 1846, connects via the District Line to Waterloo and beyond, enabling residents to reach central London in around forty minutes, while the town retains much of its 18th-century character. Today, some 21,000 people live here.
