Was home to King George II's mistress, with well-manicured lawns by the riverside.
The Duke and Duchess of Lauderdale's elegant 17th-century manor house, a mile or so upriver from Richmond riverside.
The remains of a once-magnificent house which was home to King Louis-Philippe of France as Duke of Orleans. Only the Octagon Room and a stable block remain, which are now used as Richmond's main art gallery, with exhibitions (see website for details).
The view from the top of the hill (between Friar Stile Road and Nightingale Lane) is protected by an act of parliament and takes in the river, the meadows at the bottom of the hill. Much painted by JMW Turner. Well worth the short walk up the hill and it is on the way to Richmond Park if you are walking from the town.
