Marble Hill House and Park and Orleans House and Gardens are 0.4 and 0.3 miles along the Thames towpath which provides exceptional walks along both sides of the river.
The house is 0.4 miles from Twickenham train station with direct services to London Waterloo in 20 minutes. Both Twickenham and St. Margarets (0.8 miles) offer an excellent selection of restaurants, shops and amenities, with St Margarets train station offering an alternative route into London Waterloo in around 30 minutes.
