Pass the fine riverside mansion of a king’s mistress and the homes of French royal exiles. Meet the saucy ‘Naked Ladies’ and see quirky Eel Pie Island, the legendary home of rhythm & blues.
We finish at Twickenham’s classic Thames waterfront and the pubs, cafes, restaurants and independent shops of picturesque Church Street.
