About Richmond upon Thames

Richmond upon Thames, where the Thames flows with a stately grace, presents a prospect of enduring English charm. It lies 9.0 km east-north-east of Sunbury-on-Thames (from Sunbury-on-Thames: bearing 60°T, OS grid TQ 177 747), and is situated north-north-east of East Molesey village. The expansive Richmond Green, a verdant expanse at the heart of the borough, often catches the late afternoon sun in a way that lends it a soft, almost luminous quality, a gentle reminder of the leisurely pace that has long characterised this riverside settlement. The imposing facade of Richmond Palace, though much of it is gone, still hints at a grander past, and the narrow streets winding away from the river hum with the quiet commerce of shops and eateries. The air here, especially on a market day, carries a subtle scent of baked goods and ripe fruit, a simple yet profound evocation of daily life.
