Trains to Barnes

Opened in the summer of 1846, Barnes station lies within Travelcard Zone 3 in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. Originally built by renowned architect William Tite – best known for designing London’s Royal Exchange building – the station is the last remaining brick-built, gothic-style station on the Richmond branch line. Today it is a small but busy commuter station serving London Waterloo, and connecting to Richmond in southwest London and Weybridge in Surrey. Barnes also welcomes its share of tourists and day-trippers. The station is located a short walk from Barnes Common, a picturesque nature reserve that adjoins the London Wetland Centre, one of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust’s most important sites. The town itself is also home to a great range of shops, restaurants and riverside pubs – it was recently declared to have the highest proportion of independent shops of any area in Britain, at 96.6%.
