Best 9 Places to Visit in Richmond upon Thames, london:Attractions & Local Favorites

Pries Carsane Chelsea Bridge is famous for its unique self-anchored suspension design and its history as a popular spot for motorcyclists in the 1950s. Its also known for being the site where Julius Caesar is believed to have crossed the Thames during his invasion of Britain. Additionally, the bridge is aesthetically pleasing, with ornate pillars and floodlighting that illuminates its towers and cables at night.

Prokop Španěl A fabulous cathedral sized church by Lutyens blessed with immaculate acoustic properties !

Arnon Beautiful museum. Small but lits of technical and graphical descriptions if his projects. Going down the tunnel peer is amazing.

Abbey Opadotun I spent some time at North Acton Playing Fields recently, and it’s a classic, expansive community hub that feels like the "active lungs" of the Acton area. While Cathnor Park is your "secret garden," this is where you go when you need space to move. The most striking thing about these fields is the sheer variety of sports on offer. On any given weekend, the place is a hive of activity with football matches, cricket in the summer, and people making use of the tennis courts. I was particularly impressed by the Pavilion; it’s a great facility that anchors the park, housing the Think & Do community space which often hosts local workshops and eco-projects, giving the park a bit more "soul" than your average playing field. If you arent there for sports, the perimeter path is a fantastic loop for a run or a brisk walk. There are some lovely pockets of wilder planting and mature trees along the edges that provide a nice buffer from the surrounding residential streets and the nearby A40. The childrens playground is also a major draw—it’s large, fenced-in, and has a good range of equipment that keeps the younger ones busy for hours.

Lady Katie Thayer I love the colours and the different levels which makes a great place to explore there is a lift that stops at ground, first and second floor levels of the balcony thing creating a step free access opening it up to everyone. This is such an enjoyable place to be. I also enjoy being near the vents and hearing the underground Trains passing by underground.

Christopher Keeffe A small museum on the first floor of what is/was the Tourist Information Centre. The museum, modest cost c£5:00 (with concessions) tells an important aspect of the history of Rochester and nation. The Huguenots fled persecution from Franch, during war of religion. During the same period in history in England Elizabethan laws were applied by successive protestant monarch against English Catholics and other non-conformists. For a small museum, it covers a lot of history and is very informative with artifacts from the period including a bible that was baked in a loaf of bread to hide it. A wonderful and detailed dolls house a small sculpture as well a other objects use in daily, religious and medical life including a bleeding pan. The Hugonauts founded the French Protestant hospital further down the high street. Currently below the museum is displayed one of the original HMV paintings of Nipper - His Masters Voice.

Jodie Hayward Super game box experience. We did floor is lava and alien aptitude. Did this with my husband and 7 year old son, was excellent. It is pricey but great for a treat. A lot of running around and focus! Hot in the box. Our 7yo did great with the alien one even though for slightly older, I would say 7 great age for it. Staff so friendly and helpful

A Mann We visited the Horniman Museum and Gardens during half term, which meant it was very busy, but we didn’t mind at all. We went for a special (paid) workshop that was put on at the museum, which was fully worth the visit. While there we walked around one gallery and it was very interesting. Lots to look and interact it, especially for children. Would love to visit again and with better weather to enjoy the gardens. The view of central London is pretty awesome too.

Amber M Quiet and peaceful green space in the middle of the noisy area. They offer plots allotments for neighbourhood to give an equal chance to locals to enjoy the growing experience! Fairs are great too with pure homegrown honey and freshly baked on the spot pizzas.
