List of residents of Barnes, London (original) (raw)

This is a list of notable residents of Barnes, London, a district in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Barnes, in a bend of the River Thames, is in the extreme north-east of Richmond upon Thames (and as such is the closest part of the borough to central London). Barnes has retained its village-like atmosphere and, with its easy links to central London, it has attracted residents from the financial and arts sectors. Its built environment includes a high proportion of 18th- and 19th-century buildings in the streets near Barnes Pond. Together these make up the Barnes Village conservation area, where along with its west riverside most of the mid-19th century properties are concentrated. Its past residents include the composer Gustav Holst (1874–1934) and Ninette de Valois (1898–2001)
