Bright, modern, and ideally based in affluent Strawberry Hill, this home will make the perfect choice for young families and friends looking to soak up some greenery. Richmond Park lies nearby, with London Waterloo just half an hour from the nearest train station. At home, our favourite spot is the enclosed garden and patio – a real rarity in the city – where you can sit with a glass of wine while the kids blow off some steam. Inside, it's sleek and well-designed, with skylights and glass doors that provide plenty of natural sunlight. Two bedrooms are only suitable for children with pull-out single beds that can be made up as doubles upon request.

Local guide
About Twickenham
Most famous for being the home of English Rugby, insiders know that there is much more to Twickenham than sport. Its high street might be slightly uninspiring but you don't have to stray far off it to find the leafy streets of period houses and quaint riverside pubs (our favourite is The White Swan) to realise what makes this part of town so popular with affluent young families looking to get away from hectic central London. The delights of Richmond and its world-class park are just a short walk away.
