Richmond & Twickenham Chess Club are based at:
Cambridge Park Bowls & Sports Club
Cambridge Park
Twickenham
TW1 2PG
The Bowls club is ideally situated in East Twickenham, half way between Richmond and Twickenham town centres, with excellent public transport links. There is car parking on site, usage dependent on you registering your number plate. There is a bar, kitchen and toilet facilities onsite. It is also fully accessible
We meet on THURSDAY evenings from 7:30pm onwards.
Here is the immediate area: the Bowls club is the building to the south west of the bowling green (in red): you’ll notice the bridge club on the other side.
The car park can be accessed as indicated above. There is also a pedestrian entrance opposite 8 Cambridge Park. If you take the ramped entrance, it will take you straight to our location.
Coming by car?
See the map below. If you’re coming from the West, or from Central London, turn off the A316 onto St Margarets Road (A3004) at the St Margarets Roundabout. We have use of the car park on site during our Thursday evening meeting hours (you need to have your number plate registered) and parking on the road is free from 4.30pm onwards.
Coming by bus?
Four bus routes serve St Stephen’s Church, running between Richmond and Twickenham: the 33 (Barnes to Fulwell), 490 (Richmond to Heathrow), R68 (Kew to Hampton Court) and R70 (Richmond to Hampton).
In addition, two bus routes serve Poplar Court, a very short walk away: the 110 (Hammersmith to Hounslow) and H37 (Richmond to Hounslow).
Coming by train?
The nearest station is St Margarets, served by trains from Waterloo and is only half a mile away from us. From there you can either walk (via JMW Turner’s house in Sandycoombe Road) or take the 110 or H37 bus two stops to Poplar Court.
Alternatively, more trains stop at Twickenham: exit left from the station and walk 5 minutes to York Street, from where you can take any bus to St Stephen’s Church.
Coming by underground?
Take the District Line to Richmond station, from where you can take the 490, R68 or R70 to either Cambridge Park or St Stephen’s Church, or the 110 or H37 bus to Poplar Court.
Here’s the wider area, including St Margarets Station (we’re in red).
