Upper Richmond Road

The City of London has long been recognised as one of the world's leading financial centres. The world's largest professional services firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), predicted that by 2020 London would overtake Paris and Chicago to become the fourth largest economy among world cities.

Richmond is a town steeped in history. King Henry VII had such a soft spot for Richmond Castle in Yorkshire that when his manor house in Sheen accidentally burnt down in 1497 he built a royal palace along the Thames and called it Richmond in 1501. The palace was situated midway between Westminster and Windsor and so the palace became a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and remained a royal residence until 1649. Along with royals Richmond has been known to attract rock stars and celebrities as residents. The Rolling Stones began their career playing gigs in a pub called Station Hotel, which was located opposite the train station on the site where Edwards is today.

Richmond is an obvious choice for City workers wanting an easy commute and a high quality of life. The area attracts affluent professionals and corporate tenants. Average 2 bed apartments (610 sq ft) with parking are being let at £450 - £500 per week.
