About the Hampton Wick Conservation Area
The Hampton Wick Conservation Area covers about 30 hectares and was designated by London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in 1988. Inside the boundary are 24 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 22 Grade II). The most significant is Kingston Bridge, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
