Paved Court is an alleyway in Richmond, London. One of three alleys on Richmond Green, it runs from the Green in the northeast, to King Street in the southwest.
History and description
Along with the other lanes and alleys of the Green, Paved Court dates from the early 17th century. The first houses were built in the 1690s when a row of seven shops was built alongside nearby Old Palace Terrace by Thomas Wollins replacing a large house on the site. All the houses along the street are Grade II listed, many of them dating from the 18th and 19th century, or older with 19th century alterations.
The alley is home to a number of shops and restaurants, which is similar to its historic character with the alleys leading up to the green having some of the first shops in Richmond. The northern has the Prince's Head public house on the corner with Golden Court.
