George Street, Richmond
George Street, Richmond

George Street, at the confluence of the A305 and A307 roads, is the high street in Richmond, London and was one of the first streets to be developed in the town. Previously known as Great Street, it was renamed after King George III in 1769. Buildings on the street include the Grade II listed Greyhound House, formerly the Greyhound Hotel, in a building dating from the 1730s. The facade of the former General Post Office building at 70–72 George Street, now a retail store, incorporates the coat of arms of the former Municipal Borough of Richmond, which existed from 1890 to 1965. Number 29, now a Tesco Metro, was built in 1896 by the brothers Alfred and Harold Wright as a drapers shop. It developed into the first department store in Richmond, Wright Brothers Ltd, in 1929. Wright Brothers was purchased by Hide & Co Ltd, of Kingston, in 1940; they were taken over by House of Fraser in 1975, and the department store was sold to Owen Owen in 1976 and closed in 1990.Number 80 George Street was the site of J H Gosling & Sons, department store, founded as a drapers by John Hunt Gosling in 1796. The site expanded to include 75-79. In 1947 it was taken over by John Barker & Co. (later acquired by House of Fraser in 1957); it was demolished in 1968 after being damaged in a fire. It reopened as Dickins & Jones on completion of new building 1970; renamed House of Fraser 2007; closed in 2020 and is now undergoing redevelopment. The street is one-way eastbound. Westbound traffic uses Eton Street, Paradise Road and Red Lion Street.

Richmond Riverside
Richmond Riverside

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.
