Popular places to visit
Richmond Green
Jousting, archery and cricket are woven into the rich history of this active park, enclosed by some of Richmond’s most historic buildings.

A group of actors started this theater in the room of a pub but you’ll now find its productions in a much larger, theater-in-the-round venue.

Tower Bridge
With its Gothic towers and elegant walkways, Tower Bridge is unlike any other – and a fitting gateway for ships sailing up the Thames.
