The Wick

The Wick is a Grade I listed Georgian house in Richmond, Greater London, located at the corner of Nightingale Lane and Richmond Hill in Surrey. The house, designed in 1775 by architect Robert Mylne for Lady St. Aubyn, became the family home of actor Sir John Mills, who sold it to Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones in 1971. Since 1996 it has been owned by Pete Townshend of the Who.

The Georgian-style house, built of plum brick and stone on the site of the Bull's Head tavern, overlooks the River Thames and is near Richmond Park, the largest urban park in the United Kingdom. It was designed by architect Robert Mylne in 1775 for Lady St. Aubyn, and includes oval dining and drawing rooms, three storeys and a basement with modillion, cornice and balustrading above. The porch is built with entablature and Tower of the Winds piers with a fanlight above, and a line of medallions embellishes the front of the house. It faces Richmond Hill and features a garden wall that borders Nightingale Lane, with a coach house in the garden. The back of the house features bow windows that overlook the river.
