6 January 2008: Out & About Richmond walk
This walk provides you with the opportunity spend a relaxing afternoon in one of the most attractive outer London boroughs. Richmond upon Thames possesses a timeless charm, more akin to a village than a town. The name however only goes back to 1501.
The next Out & About walk will be in Richmond.
When a fire accidentally destroyed the manor-house of Sheen (formerly Shene) belonging to Henry VII, the king built a palace here and renamed it after Richmond in Yorkshire – he was once Earl of Richmond. The gateway of his magnificent Palace, favoured by Elizabeth I, and where she died in 1603, still remains. This can be found on Richmond Green, once the scene of tournaments and pageants, and today surrounded by elegant period houses. Henry VIII lived at Richmond Palace until he moved to nearby Hampton Court Palace. More recent residents of the town have included the actor John Mills and his daughters Juliet and Hayley, as well as Mick Jagger with his former wife Jerry Hall.
The view from the top of Richmond Hill, a source of inspiration for artists and poets throughout the years, has been protected by an Act of Parliament since 1902, while Richmond Bridge, the oldest spanning the Thames, sits alongside a riverside development by Quinlan Terry which uses styles of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The walk therefore takes in a wide selection of attractive buildings spanning the centuries, as well as providing some magnificent views. However because the walk is slightly longer than usual (about 3.5 miles) please arrive promptly for the start.
As usual, Graham will be our guide. However, as I have lived in the area and know it well, I reserve the right to interrupt. ;o)

OUTeverywhere member organiser
This event has been added to the OUTeverywhere calendar by Semper Infidelis from Wanstead in the London area.
If you're young and beautiful, old and interesting, or just fun, please stop by and say hello. I'm 46, and looking primarily for new friends - though I'm not partnered and not celibate. Initially a little shy, I'm a kind, good-humoured, self-mocking sort with mainly cultural interests. Please note that endless Internet chit-chat really isn't my "thing" - I'm looking to meet people in the real world.
