Deputy Mayor unveils twinning town murals with Richmond in Europe Association

The Deputy Mayor, Councillor Kuldev Sehra, attended an event hosted by the Richmond in Europe Association and unveiled paintings by local students celebrating Richmond’s twinning partnership with France and Germany.

The event welcomed 100 attendees and featured a performance by a local community choir. The unveiled artworks were painted on the walls of Whitton underpass by art students from Richmond College, to mark the reaffirmation of Richmond’s twinning agreement with Konstanz, Germany and Fontainebleau, France.

Used by thousands of pedestrians and cyclists every day, the underpass is an important connection between the communities of Whitton and West Twickenham. In addition to celebrating the international partnerships and the reaffirmation in 2025, the artworks also symbolise Richmond in Europe Association’s aim to bring people together.

The Richmond in Europe Association promotes connections with our European neighbours and commissioned the murals to commemorate the reaffirmation of Richmond’s international partnerships, which will take place in Richmond from 6 to 8 June 2025.
