Richmond is a beautiful historic town with excellent transport links, making it an attractive location for a wide range of businesses. On a meander of the River Thames, it has several parks and open spaces and is the gateway to many of the borough’s tourist attractions, including Richmond Park, Little Lanes and Richmond Hill.
The scenic view of the River Thames from Richmond Hill is the only view in England to be protected by an Act of Parliament 1902, thus preserving the views immortalised in paintings by J.M.W. Turner and described by Sir Walter Scott as ‘an unrivalled landscapes’. The scenic panorama can be viewed from Terrace Walk which surmounts Terrace Gardens, both designated Gardens of Special Historic Interest.
At the top of Richmond Hill is the Richmond Gate entrance to Richmond Park, the largest of London’s Royal Parks. A Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation it was created by Charles I in 1637 as a deer park and now has over 600 red and fallow deer.
Richmond possesses a timeless charm more akin to a village than a town. Henry VII named Richmond after his favourite Earldom, Richmond in Yorkshire, and the gateway of his magnificent Palace, favoured by Elizabeth I, still remains.
Highlights: Richmond Theatre; Orange Tree Theatre, remains of Richmond Palace, Richmond Bridge – the oldest surviving bridge on the Thames, The Poppy Factory, Duck Pond Market every Saturday and Sunday in Heron Square near the river, Terrace Gardens and the iconic view from the top of Richmond Hill and the annual family firework display in November.
