St Margarets is a suburb in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England, about west-southwest of central London. It is within the Twickenham post town. It is bounded by the River Thames to the east and the River Crane to the west and north; the northern limit, less well defined, has changed with local government boundary revisions. St Margarets does not pass any further south than Richmond Road, Twickenham. The area closer to Richmond Bridge is known as East Twickenham and is not regarded as part of St Margarets. ==History== St Margarets takes its name from the former St Margaret's House. It was the country house of Lord Cassilis, Marquis of Ailsa, and later belonged to the Earl of Kilmorey. Their names can be found in local street names, including Kilmorey Gardens and Ailsa Road. Many Victorian houses remain in St Margarets. In 1854 the St Margaret's Estate was laid out for building family houses, becoming one of the first garden suburbs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://smera.moonfruit.com/#/history/4520318773 )〕 Modern St Margarets dates from the arrival of the railway. There are some tree-lined residential roads and a range of shops and cafés. Twickenham Studios are in the middle of the area. Between St Margarets Road and the railway line (to the east of the "village") is a residential estate, "Twickenham Park". The St Margarets Fair is held each July in the principal public space, Moormead Park by the River Crane. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Margarets, London」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
