The Diana Fountain, sometimes known as Arethusa, is a statue made of bronze depicting a goddess standing on a stone and marble fountain. The goddess is surrounded by four water nymphs, four boys and four seashells. 

The fountain was created by Hubert Le Sueur in 1637 as a response to a request from King Charles I for his wife. In 1713 the fountain was moved to Bushy Park; this is where the statue still stands today.

The Chapel in the Wood is a small chapel found within the grounds of St Mary's University in the Strawberry Hill section of Twickenham, London. The chapel was built in 1772-74 for Horace Walpole, the 4th Earl of Orford. 

The chapel's style is an example of early Gothic revival architecture. Restoration for the chapel took place in 1954; it was rededicated to the Virgin Mary with a brand new statue imported from Italy, as well as new stand glass windows.

All Hallows in Twickenham is a listed church and parish of the Church of England. The church was first built as an extension to the St Martin's Mission Church. In 1933, the church gained its own priest named Harold Schofield, and under this leadership, the church was made its own parish. 

The church borrows a lot of elements of the All Hallows Lombard Street church om Central London which was demolished in 1937. Elements such as the bells, cloister and interior furnishings were transported to the new site.

Garrick's Villa is located on Hampton Court Road in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Previously named Hampton House before its procurement by David Garrick, the house was first erected in the Middle Ages. Once under Garrick's ownership, many changes and alterations to the property took place. 

For example, Garrick commissioned workers to build an orangery on the property, as well as a tunnel underneath the road which would connect to his riverside lawn.

Ham House was built in 1610 and owned by a spirited courtier named William Murray. He resided in Ham House with his wife Katherine and his daughter Elizabeth. 

William studied as a young man with Charles I, and they remained friends as they grew older. Ham House was given as a gift to William by Charles I in 1626. Between the years 1637-9, William and his daughter transformed the house into the decedent beauty we know today.  

Maids of Honour Row is a Georgian terrace building constructed in 1724 for Caroline of Ansbach, the wife of George II. She was an extremely well-liked monarch who unfortunately lived a very sad life. She is actually commonly credited with the original idea for a vaccine. 

The building was created as a place of residence for Caroline's ladies-in-waiting. The row is made up of four three-storey and five-window houses. At the back of the property, you can find the original palace tower, which is connected to the No. 1 through passageways.

Marble Hill was created as a peaceful hideaway on the side of the Thames for Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk. The building was inspired by the architect Palladio.

In this house, Henrietta would host dinners and entertain many of the great writers of the time. Marble Hill was 'saved for the nation' in an Act of Parliament in the year of 1904. 

Found in the Old Deer Park in Richmond Surrey, The Kew Observatory was originally commissioned by King George III in 1769. King George III wished to have a recreational park for his own private use. 

Becoming dedicated to this goal, he then demolished all buildings on the west side of Old Deer Park. He placed the landscaping under the care of Capability Brown, and the observatory itself was designed by Sir William Chambers. King George III was fascinated by science, so the observatory was built so George could watch the stars from the building's cupola.

Richmond Bridge was constructed in the 18th century out of stone. The bridge connects the two halves of what is known as the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. 

Richmond Bridge was designed by two architects known as Kenton Couse and James Paine. In the years between 1937 and 1940, the bridge was widened and somewhat flattened to accommodate for more traffic. Today, the bridge is the oldest surviving bridge on the Thames in London.

Twickenham was incredibly fashionable, even back in the 18th century. The story of Strawberry Hill House starts with The 4th Earl of Orford, also known as Horace Walpole, looking for property in the area. 

He soon purchased land named 'Chopp'd Straw Hall' as it was one of the last properties remaining in the area. He then transformed what was originally a collection of small cottages into a magnificent gothic castle, complete with battlements and a round tower. 

The building soon became an attraction for local residents, so Walpole would allow up to four visitors a day, with the tour provided by his housekeeper.

Hidden away in the wooded countryside of South West London, just next to the River Thames, you can find the beautiful 15th-century building known as The Wardrobe. If you can believe it, the property was built as a place for the Royal Family to store their personal property and clothing, hence the name. 

The building is of particular historical significance due to the building being all that remains of Henry VII's home of Richmond Palace. The Wardrobe was also commonly used by Queen Elizabeth I, who would often keep her belongings there when staying at The Palace.

The Wick can be found on the corner of Nightingale Lane and Richmond Hill. It was originally designed by the architect Robert Mylne in 1775 for Lady St. Aubyn. 

The building was the home of British actor Sir John Mills for many years before he sold the property to none other than Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones, who later passed on the property to Pete Townshend of The Who.

The White Lodge can be found in Richmond Park. The building was once a common place of residence for the Royal Family but is now used as the Royal Ballet Lower School. 

Originally, the property was developed as a hunting lodge for George II. The building was designed by the architect Roger Morris in 1727. The building was originally named The Stone Lodge, but the name was changed to The New Lodge in order to differentiate the building from the nearby Old Lodge.
