Just 10 miles outside of central London and home to the largest Royal Park in London, Richmond also has great shops, historic palaces and riverside restaurants and pubs. These are just some of the things we love best about Richmond.<\/h2>\n

Riverside location<\/h4>\n

Grassy slopes flank the riverside promenade, overlooked by mock-Georgian facades (these houses were actually built in the mid-1980\u2019s). This stretches along the Thames, offering pleasant traditional English views down the river. Caf\u00e9s, pubs and views of fabulous houses and gardens enhance this lovely walk. Alternatively take it easy with a riverboat trip between Richmond, Kingston and Hampton Court.<\/p>\n

Shops in Richmond<\/h4>\n

In the heart of Richmond town, designer names sit alongside small specialist boutiques. There are well-known brands galore, including Reiss, COS and House of Fraser, but there is also a welcome mix of independent names.<\/p>\n

Green space galore<\/h4>\n

Not many cities can boast a city park that stretches to a massive 2,500 acres of green space. Richmond Park is the largest of London\u2019s Royal Parks with something for everyone. Families can choose from several playgrounds but the deer (more than 600, in fact, who roam freely) are as likely to hold the kids\u2019 attention. Walking and cycling paths crisscross the grass and hiring a bike specifically for use in the park is a fun way to explore. Find out more about bike hire in Richmond<\/a> here.<\/p>\n

Flowers and tropical plants in Richmond Park<\/h4>\n

Richmond Park\u2019s Isabella Plantation is one of London\u2019s great secret gardens, effectively a garden within a park.\u00a0 Visit the 40-acre woodland garden in the Spring. During these months, you can enjoy carpets of bluebells, azaleas and rhododendrons in full bloom and spectacular giant foliage.<\/p>\n

Kew Gardens UNESCO World Heritage site<\/h4>\n

Boasting the world\u2019s largest and most diverse collection of living plants, Kew Gardens also has historic buildings, water features, a treetop walkway and an arboretum of over 14,000 trees. The gardens host a year-round programme of exhibitions and events.<\/p>\n

Stately homes and palaces<\/h4>\n

Other favourite historic houses in and around Richmond include Ham House and Hampton Court Palace. Ham House is a grand 17th<\/sup> century house, with a beautiful walled garden and Kitchen Garden, and a riverside setting. Hampton Court is a short drive from Richmond.\u00a0 Owned by the 16th<\/sup> century Tudor King, Henry VIII, it is one of the largest of the royal palaces and unsurprisingly, steeped in royal history and drama. There are art works, porcelain collections and antique furniture on display in the palace while outside in the gardens, highlights include the Maze and a grape vine dating back to 1769.<\/p>\n
