Richmond-upon-Thames is one of those places that makes you forget you're still in London. Nestled along a particularly scenic stretch of the Thames, it's known for its green spaces, riverside pubs, and relaxed, village-like atmosphere. You've got history, culture, and a touch of luxury all rolled into one, with a town centre that's easy to stroll through and views that'll stop you in your tracks. It's the sort of spot where you can have a pint by the river, go deer spotting, and still be back in central London in half an hour.

The story of Richmond stretches back centuries. It was originally known as Sheen, but took on the name Richmond in the 16th century, after Henry VII built Richmond Palace along the river. The palace itself was a favourite of Tudor monarchs, and though much of it is now gone, bits of the old walls and gatehouses are still standing. The area grew steadily as a desirable retreat from the city, drawing in artists, writers, and wealthy Londoners looking for a bit of fresh air. Today, Richmond is part of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and home to just over 190,000 people across the wider area, with the town itself still holding onto its leafy charm and strong sense of identity.

There's loads to do in and around Richmond. Richmond Park is the big draw – the largest of the Royal Parks, full of wild deer, ancient trees, and quiet spots to sit with a flask and a view. Ham House is a proper highlight too, managed by the National Trust and packed with 17th-century grandeur. English Heritage looks after Marble Hill House just across the river in Twickenham – a beautiful white villa in the middle of parkland. The riverside path is always busy with walkers, joggers and cyclists, and the town's brimming with cafes, boutiques, and little galleries. Kew Gardens is just up the road and worth every visit, whether you're into tropical glasshouses or just a lazy wander through flowerbeds. A bit further out you've got Strawberry Hill House and the charming backstreets of St Margarets and Teddington.

Richmond's well placed for dipping into the wider delights of Greater London. You've got everything the capital has to offer right on the doorstep – museums in South Kensington, theatre in the West End, shopping in Soho, or a canal walk through Camden. It's all easily reached by tube or train, so whether you're heading to a gallery, a gig or just after a curry on Brick Lane, you're never far away.

Transport-wise, Richmond ticks most boxes. The town's on the District line, as well as the Overground and mainline rail, so there's a regular stream of trains into Waterloo and across London. Buses link to all corners of west and south-west London, and for drivers, the A316 gives quick access to the M3 and M25. Heathrow's your nearest airport – just over 20 minutes away by road or an easy journey with a change at Hounslow or South Ealing. And if you fancy a slower route, the Thames Path or even a riverboat ride can get you to Westminster at a gentler pace.

Greater London as a county is more urban sprawl than rolling countryside, but Richmond stands out with its proper patches of green and old-world elegance. The borough straddles both sides of the Thames, with a mix of historic towns, quiet suburbs and riverside neighbourhoods that all feed into that broader London buzz. The mix is what makes it – you can go from high-end shopping to cricket on the green in the space of an afternoon. Across Greater London, each borough has its own feel, and Richmond's got that blend of calm and culture that's hard to beat.
