Strawberry Hill is an affluent area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in Twickenham. It is a modest suburban development next to the Thames where it descends most but never steeply centred 10.4 miles (16.7 km) west south-west of Charing Cross. It consists of a number of residential roads centered around a small development of shops and serviced by Strawberry Hill railway station. The area's ACORN demographic type is characterized as well-off professionals, larger houses, and converted houses to flats (apartments). St Mary's University College, Twickenham is the modern successor to the country's oldest Roman Catholic College, on Waldegrave Road, and specialises in teaching training. Its sports grounds were used as a training site for the 2010 Olympics. By London Street signs Twickenham Green itself nearly adjoins to the north but its boundaries are non-physical and it remains e.g. by electoral wards south Twickenham.
