Richmond

Not just one of the Capital’s smiliest areas – Richmond was named London's happiest borough and the second nationally – but arguably one of its prettiest, Richmond’s riverbank position is paired with a village-like charm that casts a spell on anyone who visits. Lying on the tip of southwest London, this picturesque spot has it all; natural beauty, some of London’s most famous landmarks, and a thriving food scene. With its sprawling park, boutique-lined streets, and calming waterside spots, Richmond is perfect for those who cannot decide between countryside and city living.

<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Community Feel</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond's inviting atmosphere is instantly apparent, from its riverside trails with cyclists squealing around corners and dog walkers trotting around to its green spaces filled with families, picnickers, and yoga enthusiasts. The area is defined by a sense of community that’s rare in a city as sprawling as London. Its iconic terrace gardens, weekend markets, and family-run businesses contribute to its village charm.
 
The Duck Pond Market in Heron Square is a local favourite with homemade goods, handmade crafts, and sustainable produce every weekend. Wandering through the market, you’ll find everything from organic cheeses to handcrafted jewellery.
 
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">What to Eat and Drink</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond’s food scene is as diverse as it is delicious. Whether you’re starting your day with brunch or ending it with cocktails by the river, Richmond delivers. Begin your morning at No.1a Duke Street, where brunch classics like buttermilk pancakes and build-your-own brioches are served in a courtyard twinkling with fairy lights. Pair your meal with one of their artisan coffees or freshly squeezed juices for a great start to your day.
 
For a Mediterranean twist, head to Megan’s on Hill Street, where dishes like shakshuka and halloumi open sandwiches bring a touch of sunshine to even the greyest London mornings. Their relaxed, dog-friendly vibe makes it a popular spot for locals and their four-legged companions.
 
By mid-afternoon, the aroma of freshly baked pastries fills the air. Petersham Nurseries, just off Church Lane, is a must-visit for its greenhouse café, where cakes and cinnamon swirls are served under hanging bougainvillaeas. The garden centre is a delight with a selection of seedlings, pottery, and gardening tools that attract green-fingered enthusiasts from across London.
 
For dinner, there is no shortage of options. Peggy Jean, a floating riverside restaurant decorated in shades of pink, is perfect for alfresco dining. Its Aussie-inspired menu features fresh seafood, chargrilled dishes, and creative cocktails, all served against the backdrop of the Thames. For something more refined, Scott’s new Richmond outpost has all of the Mayfair glamour of its original combined with riverside views and live jazz on Wednesday evenings.
 
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Cultural Landmarks</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond Park is the crown jewel of the borough, famed for its roaming deer, ancient woodlands, and expansive meadows. Spanning 2,500 acres, this royal park has peaceful walks along Pen Ponds with panoramic views from King Henry’s Mound, a spot so iconic it’s protected by an Act of Parliament.
 
The park isn’t the only natural highlight. The Richmond riverside offers tranquil walking trails, while the Terrace Gardens provide the perfect vantage point for sunset views. Richmond Green, surrounded by historic buildings and quaint pubs, is another lovely spot for a stroll or a picnic.
 
The town boasts a thriving arts scene, with theatres, galleries, and live music venues hosting events year-round. From performances at the Richmond Theatre to exhibitions at the Orleans House Gallery, there’s always something to inspire and entertain.
 
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Events and Experiences</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond’s high street strikes the perfect balance between big-name brands and independent boutiques. Margaret Howell’s timeless British designs and Feather &amp; Stitch’s Scandi-style fashion make it a destination for discerning shoppers. The Open Book and Books on the Rise, two local bookstores, offer carefully curated collections that cater to both casual readers and literary enthusiasts.
 
Florists like Amanda’s Flowers and Bramble &amp; Moss add a splash of colour to the streets with their beautiful displays and bespoke arrangements. Meanwhile, the Duck Pond Market in Heron Square is a treasure trove of handmade goods, from soaps to leather bags.
 
Richmond’s riverside pubs have sweeping views of the Thames and the large beer gardens are some of the best pubs in the capital. The Roebuck sits on top of Richmond Hill and has one of the city’s most breathtaking views. Order your drink to-go and enjoy it from Terrace Gardens as the sun sets over the Thames.
&nbsp;
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Education</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond is served by a range of excellent schools, both independent and state-run, with top-rated institutions like The Vineyard School and St Elizabeth’s Catholic being the most obvious choices for families. For older students, Richmond upon Thames College offers a range of programmes, while nearby Kew House School provides a modern approach to secondary education.
 
<h2 style="font-size: 24px;">Travel</h2>
&nbsp;
Richmond is well-connected, with underground and overground stations providing access to the District Line and South Western Railway, and regular trains to central London making commuting easily accessible. Bus routes offer further convenience for local travel, and for international journeys, Heathrow Airport is just a short drive away, making Richmond an ideal base for both city dwellers and frequent flyers.
