Strawberry Hill

Strawberry Hill takes its name from Horace Walpole's Gothic villa, which is now part of St Mary's University. The station is on the Kingston loop, with direct trains to Waterloo. The residential streets are quiet, mostly Edwardian, with some attractive Arts and Crafts houses near the station. Wellesley Road has a small parade of shops that covers the basics. It sits between Twickenham and Teddington, borrowing from both for anything more than a pint of milk. It's one of those areas people discover by accident and then don't want to leave.
