Streets, squares, mews and lanes. The most charming streetscapes in London. Some well known, some hidden gems.
Riverside mansions begun in 1720, on the outside of the bend the Boat Race comes round.
Terraces
Building along the Terrace started as early as 1720, which makes this some of the oldest riverside housing in London, and the houses have faced the same stretch of water ever since. The Thames turns west here, and the bend is part of the Championship Course, so the Oxford and Cambridge crews pass the front doors every spring with Barnes Railway Bridge closing the view downstream.
Gustav Holst lived on the Terrace, and so did Ninette de Valois, who founded the company that became the Royal Ballet; blue plaques mark both. Behind the row is Barnes village and its pond, which is why the street feels like the edge of a settlement rather than a stretch of embankment.
