Local area

St. Margarets sits in a quiet, characterful corner of Twickenham, a short distance from the river and well connected by both rail and bus. The area has a relaxed, village-like quality that residents tend to cherish, and its modest but discerning selection of independent restaurants reflects that personality well. Cave Restaurant adds something genuinely distinctive to the local dining scene — Persian cooking is rarely found in this part of south-west London, and having a highly regarded example of it on St. Margarets Road is the kind of neighbourhood asset that gives a community real character.
