Trees and gardens in Twickenham
Twickenham runs down to the Thames, and the riverside streets around Marble Hill Park, Orleans House and Strawberry Hill carry some of the finest trees in west London: London planes, limes, horse chestnuts and weeping willows that were planted beside Georgian and Victorian villas and now tower over them.
Inland, St Margarets and the streets off the Chertsey Road are rows of Edwardian terraces and semis with narrow back gardens, where a single sycamore, a fruit tree gone wild or a leylandii screen can take the light from every house in the row.
