Ham is an ancient village of historical importance and a pretty, semi-rural idyll located approximately mid-way between the comprehensive town centres of Richmond and Kingston, both of which provide with fast and frequent mainline train services to London Waterloo, whilst Richmond is on the District line. Approximately two miles south of Richmond and two miles north of Kingston town centres and easily approachable by car, there are frequent bus services to both town centres. The nearby cycle paths that follow the Thames River in either direction are a divine way to visit either town or commute. Green open spaces are in abundance and on the doorstep: 2500 acres at Richmond Park, 24 acres at Petersham Meadows and 175 acres at Ham Lands, designated a Local Nature Reserve. The tranquillity of The River Thames is approximately 1 mile away and provides pedestrian, and cycle paths up and down stream.
