History
For history prior to the late 19th century ''see Hampton, London''.
Hampton Hill's urban development was railway-fuelled building in an area that was since the Middle Ages the north of Hampton, London parish (Church of England) further away from the River Thames. Distinguished from Hampton on all street signs, it is that part across the Charles I of England-commissioned Longford River, an artificial watercourse built to supply Hampton Court, which forms the boundary between Hampton Hill and Hampton.
Its lack of development is reflected by the fact only seven of this complete list of listed buildings are buildings:

Hampton Hill was bombed a number of times during the Blitz, the first major incident was in November 1940 when 63 Park Road was gutted when an abandoned Wellington bomber crashed on it. On the next night much of Alpha Road was destroyed and five people died after a Luftwaffe bomber dropped a landmine on it. Subsequently Hampton Hill had a number of lucky escapes with bombs and incendiaries either failing to explode or landing in Bushy Park, Fulwell Golf Course, and other open land, with the next major incident being in June 1944 when a doodlebug (flying bomb) exploded near Longford Close and killed one person.Barnfield, P., 2001.

Geography
The small town is in the southwestern suburbs of London, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The geology of south-west London north of the river is a flat alluvial plain rich in clay and humus and thus useful for market gardening; with little floodplain on either side of the river and though downhill, Hampton's riverside is only beneath the maximum elevation in Hampton Hill.[http://www.gridreferencefinder.com Elevation Tools - maximum above sea level 18m] A comparison can be made with Strawberry Hill, London which is smaller and has a small noticeable Slope to the east.
Aside from the residential areas of the town, the High Street is filled with shops, restaurants, several cafes, a few public houses, and a traditional 75-year old bakery.[http://www.thecavanbakery.co.uk The Cavan Bakery] The High Street also stages a yearly parade before Christmas when the street is closed and a procession takes place.
The Hampton Hill Association (HHA) launched their [http://www.hamptonhillassociation.co.uk Hampton Hill Community website] on November 30, 2007, with local links & telephone numbers, a What's On Guide, Gallery, History and Young Residents pages as well as information about the mission of the HHA and its committee members.
The High Street in Hampton Hill has an active Traders' Association. They have been organising the annual Christmas Lighting Up parade for over 40 years. In 2010 the inaugural Hampton Hill Summer Festival was organised. The Hampton Hill Traders' Association together with Richmond Council co-fund the town centre manager, Jayne Jackson. The wide range of commerce, theatre and restaurants in the High Street is documented by an annually updated Hampton Hill Guide.[http://www.hamptonhillguide.co.uk Hampton Hill Guide]
Hampton Hill is also home to the Hampton Hill Playhouse,[http://teddingtontheatreclub.org.uk/ Hampton Hill Playhouse] a small community theatre and the Hampton Hill Cricket Club.[http://www.hamptonhillcc.co.uk/ Hampton Hill Cricket Club]
