The riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green
Taken at low tide on a rather grey and misty day, the trees on the right are on the island of Oliver's Ait. The island gets its name from Oliver Cromwell.

Buildings at Strand-on-the-Green
The front door is raised above the walkway in case of high tides - this faces the Thames. No 49, with its attractive fanlight, is listed http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=438647&mode=adv . Next door was "originally a malthouse or warehouse", and runs back to Thames Road http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=438646&mode=adv .

Steps to front door along the riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green
The riverfront at Strand-on-the-Green consists of a footpath running along the bank of the River Thames. It is overlooked by fine 18th-century houses and a collection of riverside pubs, and as it is on the tideway is regularly flooded by the river, especially when high tide combines with heavy flow from upriver as here in November 2012. The entrance of all the properties is raised above the path so that the view of the river is not spoiled. This is a typical example. In some cases, however, this has left rather strange effects such as front doors which are only four feet high - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2123728

The Dutch House and its neighbours, Strand on the Green
Seen across the river from Kew.
The diamond pattern painted on the shutters of the Dutch House is very much in the Dutch tradition. I notice that since I was here last year, shutters and door have been repainted using a darker shade of blue http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2352960
On this occasion the tide was out. For an impression of the scene at high water see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2318379

The City Barge, Kew
Looking up at the facade of the City Barge public house. Originally the Navigators Arms, when built in 1484, it was re-named the City Barge in the 19th century when the state barge of the Lord Mayor of the City of London had its winter moorings outside the Inn.
