Top 5 Things to do Good for Couples in Twickenham, England
Twickenham is a suburban area and town in Greater London, lying on the River Thames 10.2 miles west-southwest of the centre of London. It has an extensive town centre and is famous as being the home of rugby union, with hundreds of thousands of spectators visiting Twickenham Stadium, the world's largest rugby stadium, each year. The historic riverside area is famous for its network of 18th-century buildings and pleasure grounds, many of which survive intact. This area has three grand period mansions with public access: York House, Marble Hill and Strawberry Hill House. Another has been lost, that belonging to 18th-century aphoristic poet Alexander Pope. Among these is the Neo-Gothic prototype home of Horace Walpole which has given its name to a whole district, Strawberry Hill, and is linked with the oldest Roman Catholic university in the country, St Mary's University, Twickenham.

2. Orleans House Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 58 reviews
Stroll along a peaceful riverside road into secluded woodland gardens, to find a stunning 18th century interior design - and the principal art gallery for the borough of Richmond upon Thames. Orleans House has a rich and vibrant history, from the baroque Octagon room, which was designed by renowned architect James Gibbs, to a main gallery which hosts five temporary exhibitions each year - ranging from the historical to the contemporary.

If anything it’s even better after lockdown. The last time I visited the gallery at least eighteen months ago it felt a little unloved. It has since been beautifully refurbished adding a ground floor entrance lobby and a research room on the second floor with displays of objects associated with the 19th century explorer Sir Richard Burton. There’s nothing like a lick of white paint and the cleaning of the parquet flooring to liven up the ground floor gallery and first floor balcony where there is currently an exhibition of contemporary paintings and sculpture inspired by works in the Borough’s collection. The one-way system allows visitors to pass through the splendid Octagon Room a:deservedly popular venue for wedding receptions as well as visit the adjoining Stables Gallery (and cafe with outdoor seating) currently exhibiting works curated by Richmond Borough Mind around the subject of mental health.

i came here with my son and his girlfriend to watch the legends match. A thoroughly enjoyable game and as always the stadium and it facilities are excellent as always, just a shame about the result .. On top of this my sons girlfriend seems to have become a rugby convert especially after getting her photograph taken with a few of the legends.

The Carara marble statues of the Oceanides or Sea Nymphs of Greek mythology amidst the fountains are a MUST whenever taking a walk along the riverside at Twickenham. There is an information board nearby giving a detailed history of this outstanding creation. The extensive York House Gardens are hidden behind hedges and are a tranquil place to relax. In the summer the Richmond Shakespeare Society give excellent outdoor performances here with the “Naked Ladies” as a dramatic backdrop. A local craft ale, named “Naked Ladies” is delicious and can be found on tap in The Fox pub in Church Street, and occasionally the bottled beer is available in the local shops.

We recently had our wedding reception in the Winchester room at the Turks Head and it was simply fantastic. Hannah, the Events Manager, was amazing and made the whole process in the run up to the wedding a completely stress free experience. Nothing was too much trouble, they were very accommodating to our choices to make the evening unique to us and contact was easy through both email and get together's at the Turks Head. We were able to go in the night before to set the room up with Kate, the General Managers, help. Again nothing was too much trouble and it was a relaxed and fun evening. On the day, everything went smoothly with Hannah and Kate both present and available to us. We had a buffet, there was a wide selection to chose from and it was delicious with ample amounts to feed all of the party. Everyone commented on the quality of food. The bar staff were fantastic and good fun. I cannot praise the Turks Head enough and would recommend it to everyone as a venue for a wedding reception or party. The Winchester room has it's own bar, toilets, entrance and doors to the beer garden and so the party can be completely private, which was ideal. All of the staff at the Turks Head were fantastic, completely customer focused and a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely going back for visits (their menu is extremely good and the food is to a high standard) and will be telling all of our friends and family to make a visit. Thank you so much for helping to make our special day truly memorable, you guys are great ????????
