Sweets in Twickenham: Rugby's HQ Since 1907, and a High Street Without a Sweet Shop

Twickenham sits within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, home to around 200,000 people — and on a Six Nations Saturday, the town's own stadium alone can hold closer to 82,000 more.

Rugby's HQ Since 1907

The Rugby Football Union bought a market garden in Twickenham in 1907, and two years later the ground hosted its first match, Harlequins against Richmond. It's since grown into the world's largest rugby union stadium and the second-largest in the UK behind Wembley, hosting Rugby World Cup finals in 1991 and 2015. A recent naming-rights deal means it's officially the Allianz Stadium now, though most people, England shirts included, still just call it Twickenham.

A Riverside Town, Light on Sweet Shops

Beyond the stadium, Twickenham's best-known local landmark is the River Thames itself, and Eel Pie Island just off it, once home to a hotel that hosted The Rolling Stones and The Who in the 1960s. What the town doesn't have is a long-running independent sweet shop in the way Glasgow, Belfast or Newcastle do — its high street runs on the same chain cafes and convenience stores as most of outer London.

Matchday Crowds, No Matchday Bulk Sweets

Even with a stadium that can outnumber the town's population several times over on a match day, there's no stall or shop nearby set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or trade cases — just stadium concessions built for one bag at a time.
