The Wick, Grade I listed building in Richmond, London
Description
The Wick is a Georgian residential building in Richmond upon Thames that consists of four floors with brick cladding. The house shows oval dining and reception rooms plus a tower with columns following a classical model.
History
Robert Mylne designed the villa in 1775 for Lady St Aubyn and followed Georgian building traditions. The architecture borrowed from ancient models and shaped the surroundings on the hill over generations.
Culture
The name comes from the villa's plot and refers to a special position on the slope of Richmond Hill. Generations of artists valued the view and quiet of the house, which belonged to England's cultural scene for decades.
Practical
The villa stands on a rise near Nightingale Lane and offers orientation through the tower with column portal. From outside you can view the facade and walls, while the interior currently counts as private property.

In the basement there was a studio where several albums were recorded and where the band around Ronnie Wood also composed known songs. The acoustics of the cellar rooms matched the needs of a rock band and enabled spontaneous sessions.
