Guided riverside walks reveal Twickenham's Georgian past every Sunday
11 September 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
There are still Sundays left in September to join a guided heritage walk along Twickenham's riverside — and from the sounds of it, these are well worth an hour of your afternoon.
The walks, organised by the Twickenham Riverside Trust, trace the history of the embankment from its working waterfront origins through to the Georgian splendour of Marble Hill House. Each participant receives a substantial 30-page illustrated brochure to keep, packed with visual references to bring the stories to life. Poets, princes, artisans, river workers and a few more surprising characters all feature along the way.
Departures are at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm from Twickenham Embankment, in front of the Barmy Arms pub. Tickets are £8 per person, or £5 for concessions. The walks last approximately one hour.
With the Open House Festival already running in the borough this month, it's a good moment to make the most of what's on the doorstep before the season turns. The remaining Sundays in September are the 13th and the 20th — and 27th should the series extend.
