Barnes is a place in south-west London in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is located 5.8 miles (9.4 km) west south-west of Charing Cross in a loop of the River Thames, with Hammersmith Bridge at the north end. It has some of the most expensive housing in London, prized for its relatively secluded location (the river acts as a barrier to much through traffic) and its elegant mansions.
North Barnes (sometimes called Castelnau), on the banks the river and Hammersmith Bridge, contains a 1930's council estate (including roads such as Nowell Road and Stillingfleet Road). It mostly consists of "Boot Houses", these were houses constructed by Henry Boot company. These houses no longer meet building regulations and need to have their external walls reconstructed. This means that new buyers cannot get a mortgage on un-reconstructed houses and so residents of this area have usually lived in their houses for a long time (in some cases it being passed down).
