Hotels near Twickenham Rugby Union Football Ground
With a proud history dating from Neolithic times, Twickenham is the internationally recognised home of the English Rugby union. As the fashionable retreat from court life, elegant country houses were built and homes established. Twickenham was the 18th century equivalent of Beverley Hills, popular with the foremost artisans. Henrietta Howard, mistress of George II, had Marble Hill House built for her and regularly entertained the greatest poets and wits of the day. Both Horace Walpole and Alexander Pope left their mark on Twickenham: Walpole's gothic fantasy at Strawberry Hill and Pope's Grotto. The waterfront consists of historic buildings, wharves and a footbridge link to Eel Pie Island, famous for Rolling Stones concerts in the 1960s. A riverside stroll uncovers beautiful gardens and open spaces, the York House garden sculptures and the baroque Octagon Room of Orleans House.
