Streets, squares, mews and lanes. The most charming streetscapes in London. Some well known, some hidden gems.
The older of Hampton's two village streets, with the oldest building in the place on its corner.
Lanes & alleys
Hampton grew where the road along the river between Windsor and Kingston met the road running north to Twickenham, around the hillock St Mary's stands on, and Church Street is the older half of that junction. The Feathers, on the corner of Thames Street, was built around 1540 and is the oldest surviving building in Hampton: a pub from about 1630 until 1792, drunk in by Samuel Johnson and David Garrick, and cottages ever since.
The church is not as old as its setting suggests. The medieval one was pulled down in 1829 and the present, larger building put up in 1831. Garrick lived along the river at what is now Garrick's Villa, where Robert Adam added a portico and an orangery and drove a tunnel under the road so he could reach his riverside lawn without crossing it.
