    Richmond, London

    Town in London, England

    Richmond is a town in south-west London, 8.2 miles west-south-west of Charing Cross. It stands on the River Thames, and features many parks and open spaces, including Richmond Park, and many protected conservation areas, which include much of Richmond Hill. A specific Act of Parliament protects the scenic view of the River Thames from Richmond. Richmond was founded following King Henry VII's building in the early 16th century of Richmond Palace, from which the town derives its name. The town and palace became particularly associated with Queen Elizabeth I, who spent her last days there. During the 18th century, Richmond Bridge connected the two banks of the Thames, and many Georgian terraces were built, particularly around Richmond Green and on Richmond Hill. Those that have survived remain well preserved, and many have been designated listed buildings on account of their architectural or historic significance. Wikipedia
