North Sheen is an area of London, England in the former Municipal Borough of Richmond (Surrey).[1][nb 1] It was incorporated into Kew in 1965 when the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames was created.[2]

Although North Sheen no longer officially exists as a place name, it survives as the name of a station. Being south of the A316 road, the station is in Richmond rather than Kew, and so was not actually in North Sheen. Kew also has North Sheen Bowling Club,[3] North Sheen Cemetery[nb 2] and North Sheen Recreation Ground.[4]
