Locally born architect Edward Lapidge both designed and donated the land for a church, St John's Hampton Wick, built in 1831.

Hampton Wick is a Thamesside area of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England, contiguous with Teddington, Kingston upon Thames and Bushy Park.

Market gardening continued until well into the twentieth century. With its road and rail connections to London along the M4 corridor, it is within the London commuter belt.

Although north of the River Thames, the area forms part of the Kingston upon Thames and East Molesey post towns based on the south side of the river.[2] As the river flows north past Hampton Wick and Kingston, it is actually west of Kingston.
