Thatched House Lodge is a royal residence in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in London, England.
AFC Wimbledon have played at the stadium since they were founded in 2002, after the original Wimbledon club (later Milton Keynes Dons) was given the decision to relocate some 60 miles from South London to the town of Milton Keynes. They were in the Combined Counties League at this time, but in 2009 reached the Blue Square Premier - the highest non league division in the country - and are now just one promotion away from reaching the Football League.
Kingston Railway Bridge crosses the River Thames near Kingston upon Thames, England carrying the South West Trains looping branch line from London Waterloo to Shepperton and Richmond. It was first discussed in 1860 and completed in 1863.[2] The bridge links Kingston and Hampton Wick stations, and crosses the Thames on the reach above Teddington Lock. There are arches on both sides over dry land and that on the Kingston side has a road running though it.
A strong feature of the station is the semi-circular glazed stairways leading to the enclosed bridge over the tracks occupied by staff offices. These, combined with the station's block-like mass and the narrow deck-like platform buildings, lend the building the atmosphere of a ship. Prominent from the platforms and dominating the main entrance elevation, almost like a ship's figurehead, is a 10-foot-tall (3.0 m) statue by Eric Aumonier of a kneeling archer captured as if having just released an arrow along the railway line towards central London. (The Archer, a local community newspaper, is named after this landmark). The archer is intended to commemorate Finchley's ancient association with hunting in the nearby Royal Forest of Enfield. There is also a pun, in that it faces towards Archway.
No trace of the market now exists other than the road name.
