Whitton, TW2

Whitton is a place in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is a suburban development situated 10.7 miles (17.2 km) west south-west of Charing Cross. Although it expanded rapidly as a residential suburb of London during the 1930s, it remains a friendly place even within its suburban setting. The community is served by a wealth of local shops and businesses.

Whitton is first mentioned in historical documents around 1200, though it had probably been settled a century or so earlier. It remained little more than a hamlet for centuries but by the 16th Century had already begun to attract outsiders. The Elizabethan and Jacobean poet and courtier Sir John Suckling built a house in the vicinity of the present Murray Park. He later replaced it with a grander residence on land adjoining today's Warren Road.

Apart from the High Street shopping parades introduced in the 1930s, many traditional shops have continued to thrive until the present, though the nature of their business has changed with the times.. Nonetheless even after the war there were numerous examples of traders catering to the specific needs of what until only a decade or two earlier had remained a self contained rural community.
