Historical city visits in Richmond

“Outdoor Owls is just not a nursery, they offer a very inclusive and holistic way to explore the beautiful world we inhabit and they do it with so much presence and love. This has been so important in the development of our child.Though it has only been few months, the changes we get to see in him are profound. The way his sense of expression and self confidence has developed in this relatively short period of time is incredible. He has started to tell stories, make new friends and get comfortable with new people around. Everytime we pick and drop him the space feels so alive! The enthusiasm of the children mixed with the freshness of nature, it is always a treat to be in that energetic space even for few minutes. A lot of work and effort goes into being around and manage so many kids in the outdoors, but the teachers do it so effortlessly. They are so committed to their wellbeing. They are the perfect nurtures and a home away from home. Outdoors has been very important to us growing up so we were very excited for our child but Outdoor Owls turned out to be much more than what we expected, they are a perfect place to lay the foundation. I would highly recommend sending kids to an actual forest school/nursery like Outdoor Owls for a holistic physical, mental and emotional development.”

“This salon really is incredible and I have never been happier with my hair than after using them! Honestly Wow! I'd never been to Trevor Sorbie before but used them for the first time to get my hair highlighted and don't think I'll ever be using anybody else now to do the job! They came up on my searches as the best in Richmond and that's exactly what service I got, 5*. From the moment you walk in, every staff member has the loveliest smile and welcomes you. Really lovely friendly team who make you feel very comfortable. My stylist was just an absolute perfectionist, my goodness! He listened to exactly what I wanted and took such care and attention. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he styled top celebrities. My hair colour looks beautiful and it's all thanks to Trevor Sorbie!”

“Richmond Park is by far my favorite park in London! Due to the size of it each time I visit I see different parts of it and different packs of deer. Every season it's a good season to walk there and it's dog & cycle friendly! There are not many places to drink at the park so make sure you bring your own.”

“Angela and Faye were absolutely incredible working on my house move; my buyer and seller both used lower quality solicitors, and Eric Robinson saved me from what could very easily have turned into a series of delays or a disaster! I'd strongly recommend them and would use them again without hesitation.”

“Lovely pub. Good menu. Good selection of beers. Friendly staff. Two floors dinning.”

“Very. Good location, friendly staff, clean room. If looking for a comfy bed, shower and great location in town. Book here.”

“A fine traditional pub with an excellent range of real ales and cider. Cosy atmosphere, proper fire and friendly dog. Landlord happy to discuss beer choices, aiming for a range of beer styles and from outside London. Worth seeking out - it's hard to find and has limited opening hours.”

“Stunning little place, extremely humid so visit on a day you can tolerate it. However, worth the display of so many water lilies, but many other plants too.”

“Beautiful Botanical Garden in Kew. This is such a huge garden with so many varieties of trees, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables from all around the world. Amazing experience. Must visit and is walking distance from Kew station. There are some places in the garden where u get the feeling of being in a tropical country with even the temperatures being humid. Superb”

“Lovely day out. Spent 4 hours there. Still so much left to see. Will be visiting again soon.”

“A wonderful little hotel very close to the centre of Richmond. I stayed 3 nights for work and will definitely choose to stay there again next time I'm down. The staff were very welcoming and the room while small was perfectly formed with everything you need. Very happy to have stayed there.”

“I got into contact with Redmans and was assigned to Caroline Lewis regarding my employment case. Caroline made my life infinitely easier and got me more out of the deal than I thought I could get, making it easier for me to transition to a new role and looking out for me. Her responses were very prompt and her willingness to chase my company for me and making sure they're on-top of things. I've genuinely gone around and recommended Redmans to anyone I know who'd possibly have a need for a solicitor!”

“I had expected the Petersham to be a bit staid, but our Christmas lunch surprised on the upside! Even playful in parts, the meal was always very good quality. Clearly, they have a talented kitchen team. Service was well paced and friendly, and the 'White Christmas' joke was fun!”

“Lovely weekend lunch! The menu isn't extensive but there is enough choice and nobody felt they had to compromise. The kids menu was very good, plenty of options to cater for simpler and more adventurous tastes. The triple cooked chips, these days almost a pub cliché, are worthy of a special mention! Clean plates all around. What more can you ask for?”

“Stayed for two nights. Lovely pub, friendly staff, clean rooms and amazing breakfast. What more could you ask for. The owners are both lovely and always around should you need anything.”

“Visited here with my 6 year old daughter and have had really great time. All staffs were so kind and nice, from information to cafeteria. Good choice as a family dayout.”

“An amazing walk and I never realised it went on for so long. And has an interesting 200 year old folly awaiting you by crane Island. At - 2degree it was a fresh and enjoyable walk”

“The food was cooked to perfection, we had Sunday roast, fish and chips and veggie salad and everything was just unexpectedly good. Flavors with many layers of spices and textures, quality of ingredients - everything came together so well! The service was a bit slow thought because the place was very busy but the food was worth every second of wait.”

“A wonderful find for lunch. We had the most delicious rib eye steak. Cooked to perfection. It’s the best steak that we have tasted in a long time. Definitely worth a visit.”

“I really enjoyed my stay, the place was exactly what I was looking for. Nice and clean, a pub downstairs when you want drinks, quiet when you go to sleep. Clean kitchen and bathrooms and digital nomad worthy WiFi. Thank you all!”

“Very much enjoyed a Christmassy afternoon tea. Visited for the second time. Lovely decor and atmosphere, wonderful desserts. Mains are very traditional British, meaning for most people they lack spices or even salt. The staff are great and friendly, but the place is always understaffed and the poor waiters are running around to try and serve the seated guests and the counter simultaneously. Of course that results in slow service. From my experience they also often don't have some items on the menu. While improvements could be made, I would recommend visiting the place at least once for the special experience.”

“Nice little kiosk and seating area right near a car park in Richmond. Good to pop into for a quick coffee, snack or ice cream (depending on the weather). There is a lot of seating, so good for a rest too, if you've been walking a lot. Queues can be quite long, but that's not their fault as they deal with everything as quickly as possible.”

“We ordered pigs in blankets, siracha chicken sandwich, fries with parmesan and truffle oil and halloumi. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. Will definitely visit again!”

“We got married on the 02 September and couldn't recommend The Duke's Head more as a venue! The night before my wedding, when I was dropping off the decorations and the cake..etc. I met with Dorian and he was just fantastic. He was patient and took the time to listen to me and what I needed. He made me feel comfortable and reassured me that everything would be done and ready for the following day, which is priceless when you're at your most stressed. The only thing that The Dukes Head could have done better would have been if Dorian had been our point of contact through out the lead up as his one night outshone any other communication prior. The night of our wedding was a blast, the entire team were just amazing! Quinton, the manager, was on top of everything and made our evening one to remember. The staff were very attentive and remained friendly and willing to help all evening. They ensured that we always had a drink and were prompt with the food, which was very tasty! The highlight of their amazing service was the communication with myself and my wife. They checked times with us and were flexible if anything changed, such as speeches. The turn around from the sit down to dance floor was very quick, which was then followed by a fantastic evening buffet! The Coxwain room is so beautifully decorated it really didn't need much more, however with the original decor, everything we added and the extraordinary view out the windows both us and our guests were blown away.”

“Wow. I was blown away by this place. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, I felt like they were very inclusive and also gave my dog treats. The veggie roast dinner was probably the best I’ve ever had. The pub itself is very cosy and traditional and has wonderful river views. A really nice place.”

“The bar sandwich menu is really good and reasonably priced. The fish goujon sandwich is delicious. Soft fresh bread and packet salad but tender and fresh, with a good dressing. Highly recommended for lunch .. don't know about dinner.”

“Fast, friendly service on a Thursday evening. The tasty English and Thai food was served in generous portions and well received by all. Two casks ales available and all needs of our small party catered for with a smile. Would recommend.”

“Early morning last collection on Saturday. Mon-Fri 09.00, Sat 07.00.”

“Paul is very experienced and great with dogs. He is fully trained and accredited, and very importantly insured. He offers a dog walking service with day care and boarding when you cannot be there for your pooch.”

“Excellent place to stay. Hosts are awesome, very helpful, dedicated and welcoming. The place is tiny but highly functional, cute and well situated.”
