Ham House and Garden

We are located on the south bank of the River Thames, west of the A307, between Richmond and Kingston. Ham is readily accessible from the M3, M4 and M25 and Richmond Park's Ham Gate exit. If coming from Kingston, the Ham Street turning off the A307 is just before Ham Common. Follow this road for a mile to Ham House.

Parking: Free parking, 400 yards away in the council-run Ham Street Car Park, which is next to the river at the end of Ham Street. Nearby streets also offer free parking.

Sat Nav: Directs you to the stables on Ham Street, carry straight on past these to the free, council-run Ham Street Car Park.

We are located on the south bank of the River Thames. The Thames Path runs close to the entrance and is located 1.5 miles from Richmond and 3 miles from Kingston. From the Thames Path, opposite Hammerton’s Ferry, walk across a small wooden bridge and follow the well-trodden path across the meadow to the front gates of Ham House and Garden, which are river-facing.

Richmond 1½ miles by footpath, 2 miles by road. Please see bus directions for travel information from Richmond Station.

The 371 and 65 bus routes stop near us. Taking the 371 Richmond to Kingston, alight at the Ham Street bus stop, then follow signposts to walk the remaining ½-mile. On the 65 Ealing Broadway to Kingston, alight at the Sudbrook Lane/The Russell School bus stop on Petersham Road and walk ¾-mile along the historic avenues. Both the 371 and 65 routes stop at Richmond train station.

There are bike racks available on the site, which are located inside the main gates and along from Visitor Reception.
