Richmond Park, Kingston

What locals say about Richmond and surrounding areas
“It has a rural feel, with the heath nearby and a short walk to Richmond Park. Despite being quiet and green, it's only moments from Putney where there are rail links and all the shops and restaurants.”
Ben
“I was born in Teddington in 1958. I now live in cornwall and realise how lucky I was as a child. We were not wealthy - but we went swimming in the outdoor pool, riding in the park and making dens on the bombsites on Church Road. My cousin and I were sent to the Abercorn Arms on a Sunday to get my Grandad back for dinner; you could hear him singing half way down the road. Yes, these are memories. I went back in 2012 and I still love Teddington. I will return one day.”
Amanda
“Great sense of community, location perfect for family life and the river and parks on your doorstep. Still has small, independent places to eat and drink like The Canbury Arms. ”
