What to do and see in Teddington, United Kingdom (UK): The Best Places and Tips
Teddington is a suburban area lying west south-west of London, England. Historically in Middlesex, it has been part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames since 1965. Teddington is on the north bank of the Thames, just after the start of a long meander, between Hampton Wick and Strawberry Hill, Twickenham. Mostly residential, it stretches from the Thames to Bushy Park with a long high street reaching down to pubs, restaurants, leisure premises, fields and fitness clubs by the riverside, having a pedestrian suspension bridge over the lowest non-tidal lock on the Thames, Teddington Lock. Teddington's centre is mid-rise urban development.

1. Strawberry Hill House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 318 reviews
Visiting Strawberry Hill is a truly theatrical experience. On approach to the building it is immediately apparent from the whitewashed walls and crenelations that this is no ordinary stately home. Once inside the visitor will find the rooms magically lit by a unique collection of renaissance glass with a gloomy castle-like hall and grey gothic staircase leading dramatically to the magnificence of the gallery and state apartment. Between 2007 and 2015 the structure of the building was saved from ruin and the eccentric interiors have been fully restored to their late 18th century style. The restoration project has won major awards from the European Union, the Georgian Group, RICS and RHS, and is shortlisted as 2015's Best Tourism Project at the British Guild of Travel Writer's Awards. As well as guided tours and self-guided visits, we also offer events and family activities as well as an excellent cafe and shop.

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Strawberry Hill House. We found the staff/volunteers very welcoming and informative. They were enthusiastic to share with visitors or leave you to enjoy wondering. We are National Trust members so got a discount. The cafe was well worth a visit too.I am very pleased that you had such a good visit - than you for coming, and for sharing your experience best wishes Nick

Visit the famous hedge maze, Tudor knot garden and the state apartments at this splendid red-brick Tudor Palace, which is set in formal Gardens and open parkland along the Thames River.

Cannot fault anything to do with the organising of the visit & staff all over the palace. I know we were all children once but it would be so nice to have a certain time to visit when there are no loud shouting children spoiling the audio you are trying to listen to. In the end we did the tour in reverse, start at the apartments first. The main area was the kitchens where it affected most. Lovely garden, would aim to visit again when in full bloom but not too many shouting children!

We stumbled across this park whilst looking for parking around Hampton Court Palace. We were so surprised to see how lovely it was - with an attractive lake/statue and so many deer. We had a lovely walk despite it being muddy - we didn't see it all by any means but will be back when the weather is better.

It was a 30 minute walk from Ham House to the Lensbury Hotel. We walked through a nice park on the Thames with lots of people out for a stroll with kids and dogs. We crossed over the Thames at the Teddington Lock. There were a lot of boats moored with owners out enjoying the shops and restaurants. The area was very nice. All in all a very pleasant afternoon stroll to our hotel.

Small but beautiful tranquil Gardens close to the Thames and the village orchard, nice coffee and cake shop with the Millenium Tapestry and art gallery alongside.
Sit in the quiet Sunshine a few minutes and the garden birds, squirrels and even the parakeets become your friend. A real gem and with well maintained flower Gardens all year round

Absolutely wonderful "Toast & Marmalade" workshop at Hen Corner, making traditional Seville Orange Marmalade, a Lemon, Ginger & Honey Marmalade, and a loaf of bread. Sara was an excellent teacher - and aside from the marmalade making, she taught us a whole different way of mixing and kneading dough that really produced great bread. Mine was a mix of 40% seeded white/60% wholemeal flour, using normal Dove yeast, so easily replicated. It tasted great both as sandwiches and toast.
So far I've dug into the Lemon marmalade (designed by Sara for a Honey Show competition), which is delicious and definitely worth repeating. The ginger in syrup ingredient adds a little kick that knocks it out of the flu 'lemon & honey' taste profile and into something really lovely.
We also got to check out their mini urban smallholding backyard, complete with hens and bee hives as well as the kitchen garden. It's a little slice of 'Good Life' paradise in the centre of London.
It was an excellent day - learnt lots, in a lovely environment, delicious lunch and afternoon tea, it was a great deal of fun and very sociable with four other lovely ladies. I would definitely recommend the Hen Corner courses (there's a Cider course in September), and am actually going back next month to do the "Cheese in a Day" course to learn to make Mozzarella, Feta and Camembert. Looking forward to it!
