Hampton Wick: Brick by Brick Series

Hampton Wick lies in a strategic position on the River Thames. For five hundred years its bridge was the only fixed crossing between London and Staines. Its connections with the ancient town of Kingston on the opposite bank and the presence of the nearby Royal Palace of Hampton Court brought prosperity and the village grew from a hamlet of around 500 souls in 1750 to a peak of 3,400 in 1951.

    Hampton Wick: Brick by Brick explores this fascinating period of rapid urban development. This is the first of the three books covering different areas of the village. Each volume consists of two distinct parts:

  1. The first section recounts the history of the building of the village: who owned the land? who built the roads and houses? who lived in them? how have the buildings been altered and extended over time?

  2. The second section focuses on today's Hampton Wick and provides a set of walking guides to encourage readers to explore for themselves the wealth of interest in the more than six hundred buildings that now form the village.

150 Years of Hampton Wick on the Railway

On 1 July Hampton Wick 2013 celebrated 150 years of being connected to Britain’s railway network. Opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1863, the line between Twickenham and Kingston filled a gap in the company’s network and shaped the history of many of the towns and hamlets through which it passed; Hampton Wick was no exception.
