TEDDINGTON is again named as one of the best places to live in London, according to the Sunday Times Magazine.

Crystal Palace is the outright winner with Hanwell, Victoria Park, King's Cross and New Malden also earning a mention.

The best addresses in Teddington are named as Fairfax and Clarence Roads and the average price of property is £815.000. The review picks out Café Benedict and the Anglers Pub and adds: "You get two high streets for your money here: the chichi (boutiques, the Good Wine Shop, vinyl shop and the Refill Larder) and the slightly more utilitarian Broad Street."

There are also namechecks for Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S Food, Boots, Waterstones — and Teddington Hardware and Teddington Essentials which it says 'sell everything you never think you'll need until you really, really do.'

The review says: "Sporty types will find specialist cricket, tennis and running shops, and there's a clutch of boutiques for women looking to leave the athleisure-wear era behind.

"You could spend weeks eating and drinking your way down the main drag: locals name-check the King's Head pub, Café Benedict, the Fallow Deer (homemade fish finger brioche bap, £6.65), a new Italian restaurant called La Pesca and the long-established Shambles, where you can sip a 60-day barrel-aged negroni (£9.50) while checking out the menu of Italian dishes made with seasonal British produce."

In terms of where to lives in Teddington, the review states: Sought-after Fairfax and Clarence Roads are in the catchment area for Collis primary and perfectly positioned for the high street, the station and Bushy Park — a detached five-bedroom house will set you back upwards of £2 million. Two-bedroom Victorian houses start at £630,000 on the streets off Church Road, north of the main drag; three-bedroom properties here run from £800,000. Flats near the Thames start at £410,000 and four-bedroom houses in the new Teddington Riverside development cost about £2 million.
