Nestled on a meander of the River Thames in Southwest London, Richmond Upon Thames is a borough that is steeped in history.

Combining the regal majesty of the area with modern developments precipitated by young professionals moving to the area, Richmond contains numerous parks and conservation areas. London’s largest Royal Park, Richmond Park, stretches over 2,500 acres and contains everything from free roaming deer to exotic plants and flowers housed in the Isabella Plantation. Indulge in some retail therapy. Richmond contains a thriving boutique shopping district. The independent shops on Teddington High Street, Twickenham Church Street and Barnes High Street are worth visiting for an alternative shopping experience. Among the shops, guests will find a combination of chic cafes and restaurants.

Richmond tube station, served by the District Line and the London Overground, is well connected and provides guests with easy access to the city.
