Well known for its diverse array of greenery thanks to its eponymous park, it is a go-to area for young professionals that want London within a short distance and yet be outside of the hectic atmosphere. Many young families also move here to bring up their kids with access to parks and space that they wouldn’t normally get in the city itself.

With many protected conservation areas, it is a dream for those who love the natural world and a bit of peace. The eponymous Richmond Park is one of the major delights, being one of the Royal Parks and having deer wander through the terrain as well as being almost 1,000 hectares in size. There are other attractions like the riverside itself, which is magical in the summer months, and shopping centres such as The Quadrant and cinemas and local museums.

Its green spaces mean that the locals love to get out and play some sports like cricket, rugby, football, and golf. Cycling is also very popular here, and other games like polo, as well as skiffs, can be enjoyed too.

Access to the city centre, parks, museums, and the quieter vibe make Richmond a pivotal choice with leisure and business travellers looking for a different kind of London experience.

History of Richmond

There is a long history to Richmond and it starts with Henry VII. After building the now-demolished Richmond Palace, the town became a hub of activity. During the reign of his granddaughter, Elizabeth I, the area became quite monumental in English history as this is where she spent the last of her days. By the 18th century, Richmond Bridge was built to connect the town to the other side of London. This, in turn, meant easy access to the city for all and brought faster levels of trade to both sides of the river. About the same time, many Georgian terraces were built around Richmond Green and Richmond Hill; some of which remain to this day and have heritage status.

The opening of the railway station in 1846 brought a significant increase in commuters who would come to see what the area of Richmond offered as it got more entwined with the rapidly growing city of London.

It was formerly a part of the ancient parish of Kingston upon Thames but later became a municipal borough, which would include Kew, Ham, Petersham and part of Mortlake. In 1965, this arrangement was abolished and it was transferred from Surrey to Greater London.

Nowadays, Richmond is now part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, with a growing population of 198,019. Its focus on retail and technology has now made it a pinnacle centre for investment and is used all the time as a commuter town for those going into London, or even deep into the county of Surrey.

Business Life in Richmond

Within the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames, the town of Richmond has one of the largest commercial centre and is an established up-market type of shopping destination. The retail shops make it a vital economic centre for those living in the area. Its close links to London mean that many companies and businesses can set up shop here and still have a variety of consumers coming to their stores as they commute backward and forwards.

Plus, Richmond is the UK/European headquarters of several multinational companies. These include the likes of eBay, PayPal, and The Securitas Group. In fact, so popular is Richmond for large and growing businesses that the London Evening Standard has described it as "the beating heart of London's growing technology industry".

Getting back to its riveting retail economy, the centre has approximately 50,000 m2 of retail floor space. Most of this is focused on the likes of George Street, The Quadrant, and Hill Street. High street chains dominate the proceedings and generate plenty of cash for the local economy. Such brands include  House of Fraser, Marks & Spencer, Boots, Tesco Metro, Waitrose, and Whole Foods Market. Aside from them, there are independent businesses on George Street towards Richmond Green and up Richmond Hill and there is also a farmers' market in Heron Square on Saturdays.

Our corporate apartments also lend a bit of style to business life in the area. Their fully furnished spaces are ideal for kicking back after a long day in the office and have all the utilities for modern living. They even have free Wi-Fi and plenty of space to work for when remote working is on the cards.

Where to Stay in Richmond

Richmond is a London borough on the city periphery that shares its borders with the county of Surrey - one of the UK’s most affluent areas. Whilst it is just a short journey to the city - under 30 minutes by train - Richmond undoubtedly shares a similar ambiance and aesthetic to a typical town of the home counties. Those deciding whereabouts to stay in the borough will need to consider the nature of their trip. For example, those wishing for quick access to central London are best off finding accommodation close to the main rail station - perhaps along Church Road or near the quadrant. This area is also where most of the shops and amenities of Richmond are to be found. Alternatively, those seeking to experience the abundance of parks that Richmond is known for may wish to consider areas closer to the eponymous park, such as Queens Road or Park Hill. Fortunately, TheSqua.re’s Richmond apartments are ideally situated to offer the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience with regards to public transport.

Weather in Richmond

Covent Garden experiences the same weather as the rest of London, though temperatures are often a degree or two higher, as with much of southern England. UK weather is notoriously unpredictable, with rain possible throughout every season - including summertime - so those travelling to the city should always pack for all weather. Winters can see temperatures drop below freezing in the coldest months - usually January and February. However, by contrast, London weather in July is usually warm and dry, with temperatures reaching average highs of 24 degrees. Whilst August can be a little hotter, typically the city doesn’t experience temperatures high enough to make it uncomfortable. The month of September is often a good time to visit, as the weather is usually comfortable and the streets are a little less busy than they are in the height of summer.
