Hampton is a suburban area, centred on an old village on the north
bank of the River Thames, in the London Borough of Richmond upon
Thames in England. The population is about 18,000. It is served by
Hampton railway station.
The Anglo-Saxon parish of Hampton included present-day Hampton,
Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick and Hampton Court which together are
called The Hamptons. The name ‘Hampton’ may come from the Anglo-
Saxon words “Hamm” meaning an enclosure in the bend of a river and
“Ton” meaning farmstead or settlement.
It is near Bushy Park and the shopping town of Kingston. The Hampton
Heated Open Air Pool [1] is one of the few such swimming pools
remaining in Greater London. The riverside, on the reach above
Molesey Lock, has many period buildings including Garrick’s House
and Shakespeare’s Temple, also on the river is the Astoria Houseboat
recording studio. Hampton Ferry provides access across the Thames to
East Molesey.
The town is home to Richmond’s only senior level football side,
Hampton & Richmond Borough F.C., though there are numerous rugby
union teams.
