Twickenham

What is already known about Twickenham

Live geography from the official record. A district or place name is a group of postcodes, not one address.

Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on TW1 9SD — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.

Daily essentials

Supermarkets, pharmacies, healthcare, gyms and libraries mapped near TW1 9SD, ordered by straight-line distance. OpenStreetMap is contributed data: a place missing here is not proof it does not exist, and nothing here confirms opening hours or that a business is still trading.

Places mapped in OpenStreetMap within this distance of the postcode point, measured straight-line, and kept only where the map tags them as the kind of place the heading claims. OpenStreetMap is volunteer-maintained and this search returns the closest matches rather than every one: a short list is not proof that nothing else is there. Distances are not walking routes, and nothing here checks opening hours, whether a surgery is accepting patients, or whether a place is still trading.

Parks and green space

Parks, playgrounds, nature and outdoor sport mapped within 1.5 km of TW1 9SD, ordered by straight-line distance. Distance is not a walking route, and OpenStreetMap says nothing about whether a space is open to the public, its hours or its condition.

Schools

Measured by distance from the area centre, straight line. Primary is a walk and secondary is a journey, so they are counted on different radii. Ofsted's published judgements, not a Greathome rating.

24 open schools of every phase sit within 2 km, 5 of them independent. Independent schools carry no Ofsted judgement in this release, so they appear in the total and never in the judged figures. Nothing here establishes catchment, admissions eligibility or available places.

Housing market context

£818,949average house price across Richmond upon Thames, June 2026

A year earlier the same measure was £821,466, a change of -0.3%.

Average price across the whole local authority for one month, from the ONS series built on HM Land Registry UK House Price Index data. It is not a neighbourhood median and not a valuation of any property. Two guides in the same borough share this figure while their streets differ. House-price data is revised, and recent months are the most likely to move.

What this report does not cover

• neighbourhood median sale price (not_available): Only a local-authority average is connected, from ONS. A neighbourhood median needs enough geocoded transactions inside the guide boundary, which the per-postcode HMLR queries cannot supply.
• rents (not_available): No rent series is connected. Advertised rents and official all-tenancy measures are different things and neither is available here yet.
• journey times (not_available): No journey planner is connected. Transport is measured as nearby stops, not as time to anywhere. TfL PTAL and journey-time APIs would replace it for London.
• school admissions history (not_available): Admission arrangements are held by each admission authority and are not in the GIAS or Ofsted snapshots.
• licensed premises and venues (not_available): No licensing register or venue dataset is connected. Food-hygiene categories are not a pub register.
• image rights (not_yet_verified): No licensed image library is connected. Return an image brief rather than an asset.
• approved boundary polygon (not_yet_verified): Boundaries are postcode-district proxies. Counts describe the districts named, not a town-centre polygon.

Boundary

Twickenham, taken as the TW1, TW2 postcode districts. A postcode-district proxy, not an approved polygon. These are postcode districts standing in for an approved polygon. Present every count as "in these postcode districts", never as a neighbourhood or town-centre figure.
