About TW9

TW9, which covers the heart of Richmond upon Thames, is a characterful residential area that balances small-town charm with genuine London amenities. The district scores 75 out of 100 for liveability and suits families and established professionals who value green space, independent shops, and a strong sense of community over cutting-edge nightlife or constant transport options. Its main strength is the quality of life — tree-lined streets, proximity to Richmond Park, and a genuine neighbourhood feel — though the trade-off is that you're paying for that lifestyle and accepting a moderate transport score of 62 with an average PTAL of 2.6, meaning you'll often need a car or face longer journeys into central London.

Safety is a genuine selling point, with TW9 scoring 84 out of 100 and residents can expect a strong police presence, though the crime rate does sit at 132.2 per 1,000 residents, which is notably higher than the London average and something to factor into your decision. Schools are exceptional across the district, with a perfect 100 out of 100 score and every school rated Good or Outstanding, making this a destination for families prioritising education. Property prices have climbed to a median of £800,000 with 7.4% growth in the past year, confirming that TW9 works best for buyers with solid budgets and those for whom proximity to good schools and a stable, safe neighbourhood outweighs the need for quick public transport links into the city.
