Guide to Richmond
Richmond is possibly the most beautiful borough of London, a place where people come to enjoy the River Thames, the splendid open spaces and the abundance of excellent shopping areas. There is so much to do in this relatively small area that visitors will want to come back for another visit!
Visitors to Richmond can enjoy riverside walks, river activities, explore the parks and gardens or watch a cricket match in the park. Richmond town has retained an old time atmosphere with narrow cobbled streets lined with great shops and boutiques. Richmond Green is the place to take some rest and enjoy food and drink from the nearby cafes and restaurants. While small, the centre of Richmond is a great place to spend the day exploring, shopping and relaxing.
The nature and historical sites in Richmond are what makes it such a great destination. Hampton Court Palace is surrounded with stunning gardens, a mind-blowing maze and articles from more than 500 years of royal history. Open spaces dominate this area of the city. Created in 1759, UNESCO World Heritage Site Kew Gardens has one of the greatest collections of plants and flowers from across the globe and should be on everyone’s list of things to do. Check out the park and river view from Marble Hill House, an 18th century Palladian villa built for Henrietta Howard, a mistress of King George II. The Domesday Book contains records from 1085 and is housed in the National Archives in Kew alongside 900 years of historical records.
Other towns in the Richmond Borough include Twickenham, renowned for its numerous restaurants; Teddington famous for Bushy Park, where herds of deer roam and Whitton, famous as a place for its markets and orchards.
