The Twickenham Museum

“Charming little museum about Twickenham. Very welcoming staff. It is small - only one room - but well done and interesting.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this tiny museum. What made it for us was the warm welcome given to us by the two members of staff, who were very knowledgeable and enthusiastically explained some of the exhibits to us. They also kindly told us about other interesting things about the area too. The funniest exhibit was of the man, known as Professor Cockles, who used to walk along the bottom of the Thames, using a strange homemade breathing apparatus. Flowing aloft in the distance was the European flag today, which was personally a rather welcoming and special sight for me. It felt lovely, almost as if, the borough of Richmond, unlike many areas in the UK, were defiantly remaining European and most welcoming to people from abroad. Well done!”

“Fascinating museum of Twickenham, which is very rich in History, featuring some very interesting characters. The curators (be prepared to be wowed by their enthusiasm) were full of interesting stories and knowledge, more than what you can fit in once visit. I will be returning soon to top up my curiosity of the area.”
