Radnor Gardens, Riverside urban park in Strawberry Hill, England
Radnor Gardens is an urban park stretching along the River Thames with walking paths, green spaces, and recreational facilities set between Cross Deep road and the waterfront. The park contains a bowling green from around 1920, a children's play area with accessible equipment, and a cafe.
Twickenham created the park in 1903 by merging several riverside properties that originated in the 1600s. This consolidation turned scattered private holdings into one connected public space.
The space reflects the era when poet Alexander Pope made the area a hub for literary circles and creative minds. The two structures from the 1700s show the architectural preferences of that period and connect visitors to a time when this riverside location inspired writers and thinkers.
The park is easy to explore on foot with clear walking routes along the waterfront and throughout the grounds. Visitors should be aware that riverside paths may be affected by water levels and seasonal changes.
An Indian Bean tree grows on the grounds, an unexpected sight that reflects historical plant collection and gardening curiosity from earlier times. This specimen thrives in a location where few other visitors might notice such botanical variety.
