Хэмптон-Хилл: Пригород юго-западного Лондона

Suburb of south west London

Hampton Hill (initially known as "New Hampton") is a district in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to the south of Twickenham. It is bounded by Fulwell and Twickenham Golf Courses to the northwest; a railway line road bridge at the junction of Wellington Road and Clonmel Road; a line southward just east of Wellington Road; Bushy Park to the southeast; and the artificial Longford River to the south and west. Hampton Hill is served by Fulwell railway station and Hampton railway station on the Shepperton to Waterloo line. It is part of what is collectively known as The Hamptons. Much of Hampton Hill High Street, and some neighbouring residential areas are designated as a conservation area.

The small town is in the southwestern suburbs of London, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The geology of south west London north of the river is a flat alluvial plain rich in clay and humus and thus useful for market gardening; with little floodplain on either side of the river and though downhill, Hampton's riverside is only beneath the maximum elevation in Hampton Hill. A comparison can be made with Strawberry Hill which is smaller and has a small noticeable incline to the east. Aside from the residential areas of the town, the High Street is filled with shops, restaurants, several cafes, a few public houses, and a traditional 75 year old bakery. The High Street also stages a yearly parade before Christmas when the street is closed and a procession takes place. The Hampton Hill Association (HHA) launched its Hampton Hill Community website in 2007, with local links and telephone numbers, a What's On Guide, Gallery, History and Young Residents pages as well as information about the mission of the HHA and its committee members. The High Street in Hampton Hill has an active traders' association. They have been organising the annual Christmas Lighting Up parade for over 40 years. In 2010 the inaugural Hampton Hill Summer Festival was organised. The Hampton Hill Traders' Association together with Richmond Council co fund the town centre manager, Jayne Jackson. The wide range of commerce, theatre and restaurants in the High Street is documented by an annually updated Hampton Hill Guide. Hampton Hill is home to the Hampton Hill Theatre, a small community theatre, purpose built for Teddington Theatre Club in 1998, and used by a number of other theatre groups too.

Hampton Hill Junior School is on St James Avenue. It is federated with Carlisle Infant School in neighbouring Hampton. Some Hampton Hill families use other state primary schools in neighbouring Teddington, Twickenham or Hampton. The Juniors department of the privately operated Lady Eleanor Holles School is located in Hampton Hill, off Uxbridge Road (the Seniors are in Hampton, off Hanworth Road).

At secondary level, many local children go to Hampton High, Turing House School, Teddington School, Waldegrave School, and others.
