Hampton Hill (initially known as "New Hampton") is a district in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames to the south of Twickenham and around 1.5 miles north of the Surrey border. It is bounded by Fulwell and Twickenham Golf Courses to the northwest; a railway line road bridge at the junction of Wellington Road and Clonmel Road; a line southward just east of Wellington Road; Bushy Park to the southeast; and the artificial Longford River to the south and west. Hampton Hill is served by Fulwell railway station and Hampton railway station on the Shepperton to Waterloo line. It is part of what is collectively known as The Hamptons. Much of Hampton Hill High Street, and some neighbouring residential areas are designated as a conservation area.

Hampton Hill's urban development was railway-fuelled building in an area that was since the Middle Ages the north of Hampton ecclesiastical parish further away from the River Thames. Distinguished from Hampton on all street name signs, it is that part across the Charles I-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 actually buildings:

• 167 High Street
• 127 Uxbridge Road
• Templeton Lodge
• Brick Boundary Walls to Bushy Park
• Stables & Garden Wall to Upper Lodge
• Church of St James
• Hampton Hill War Memorial (in St James' churchyard)
• Monument At south-eastern end of General Roy's Survey Base
• Upper Lodge
• Old Brew House, Bushy Park
• Bushy Park - a Grade I listed park

The oldest of the listed structures lie within the part of Bushy Park in the area; the Old Brew House may be late 17th century.

In the First World War, No 15 High Street was the drill hall of the 8th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. The regiment's insignia can still be seen in stone over the door.

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 exploded near Longford Close and killed one person.
