Richmond Riverside is a development of the riverfront of Richmond, London, England, designed by Quinlan Terry and completed and unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988. The site is bounded roughly by the Thames on the west, Hill Street on the east, Richmond Bridge and Richmond Road to the south, and Water Lane to the north. In Terry's typical approach, the development aims to use traditionalist styles and appear congruous with its surrounding context, although Richmond Riverside has been noted for its eclecticism. It, along with many of Quinlan Terry's other works, has been considered controversial particularly among architectural circles. Criticisms are said to arise from both modernists and traditionalists alike for what they consider poorly executed pastiche. Proponents on the other hand believe the less strict reliance on the rules of classical architecture allow Terry to create more playful designs that remain pleasant. Into the 21st century it has largely been considered to be widely appreciated by the general public. Those in support of Terry have noted the development as an exceptional proof of concept in being successful in attracting corporate tenants as well as providing a space appreciated by the public. It has also been cited as an example of an expression of the tenets as laid out by the Prince of Wales, now Charles III in A Vision of Britain: A Personal View of Architecture. The development includes terraced lawns on the riverfront as well as new buildings in Georgian styles, including Hotham House, which were built in and around two existing listed buildings. It includes Heron square where the Duck Pond Market is held every weekend. The buildings host offices, shops and residential units. In February 2022 there were plans to alter one of the buildings for a sister location of Scott's in Mayfair, which were opposed by Terry, in November of that year, a sculpture of Virginia Woolf sitting on a bench was installed overlooking the river. A model of the development is held in the town hall which the site surrounds.

Corporation Island is a small island on the River Thames in London. The island is between Richmond Bridge and Richmond Railway Bridge, where it forms part of the celebrated view from the Richmond waterfront. Its name seems to derive from its owners, the Corporation of Richmond, now the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is uninhabited and heavily wooded, and was formerly known as Richmond Ait.The unpopulated Corporation Island is densely wooded with white willow, crack willow and weeping willow as well as hybrid black poplar. These were planted in the 1960s after Richmond Borough Council felled the London plane trees which had grown there. The island may have changed its shape due to alterations of the tidal flows in the Thames following the construction of the New London Bridge in 1829 followed by that of the Richmond half-tide lock.Corporation Island is home to a heronry, a nesting colony of grey heron, which had 12 active nests in 2016. Just downstream from Corporation Island are the last islands on the Surrey stretch of the Thames, the Flowerpot Islands, which are two nearly circular islands covered in willows which were a single island until they were divided into two on the orders of the Duke of Queensbury in 1796. Subsequently, tidal erosion has reduced them to the two tiny islets, or eyots, currently visible.One of the last photographs of The Beatles together was taken in 1969 of the band sitting on Corporation Island. There now is no public access to the island.
