Ham London Map

About Ham

Ham, a quiet corner of Richmond upon Thames, holds a gentle grace under its wide, often cloud-swept sky. It lies 7.7 km east-north-east of Sunbury-on-Thames (from Sunbury-on-Thames: bearing 75°T, OS grid TQ 174 721), and is situated north-east of East Molesey village. The air here, particularly on a dewy morning, carries a faint, sweet perfume from the bordering Royal Park, a breath of wilder, ancient woodland that spills over into the suburban consciousness. Roads curve with a less insistent logic than in more densely packed parts of the city, following contours that speak of a landscape shaped by water and by centuries of careful cultivation. The houses, a thoughtful mix of Victorian solidity and later, lighter constructions, seem to absorb the particular quality of London light, turning it into a soft, diffused glow that softens the edges of everyday life. Even the breeze rustling through the mature trees seems to whisper tales of a time when this was open country, a green expanse touched by the distant grandeur of Hampton Court Palace.
