Twickenham Museum is a small, free local history museum housed in a Grade 2 listed building on the riverside at 25 The Embankment, right by the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin. Inside you'll find displays covering the area's history from before the 10th century, including antique teapots linked to local tea merchants, a Watermen and Lightermen uniform, a woolly rhino tusk, a Mesolithic flint axe, and a detailed model of Hampton Court Palace. It suits anyone interested in local heritage, families and schools, with dedicated education pages too. It's open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only, so check times before visiting. Twickenham station is just 0.3 miles away, and with 119 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it makes an easy addition to a stay in Richmond upon Thames.
