Notes
Richmond Fire Station was constructed in 1962 by Surrey Fire Brigade, being opened in December 1963.
The station was built to replace the Surrey Fire Brigade’s existing 1932 building located in the former offices and stables of the Kew Road Horse Tramway. The building survives today and was most recently used as a prep school.
Following the creation of the Greater London Council, ownership of the station passed to the London Fire Brigade in 1965.
