Hampton Wick Festival August 2013
Hampton Wick Festival, August 2013 - locals dress up as historic characters, Cardinal Wolsey and Anne Boleyn. Just a stone's throw from Hampton Court Palace, Home and Bushy Royal Parks, Hampton Wick is a characterful village full of eccentrics. Although a KT postcode, Hampton Wick is actually part of Richmond Borough but once was in Middlesex. Schools and other amenities are excellent, fuelling exorbitant property prices. There are several houseboat moorings on the Hampton Wick Thames river bank. Kingston bridge ensures easy access to the very successful shopping and commercial centre of Kingston and the Rose Theatre. Cardinal Wolsey's cottage is situated in the heart of Hampton Wick. Hampton Wick's festival is organised by the Hampton Wick Association to capitalise on the closure of the high street for the Ride London Cycle Race.
