to Richmond Surrey, then all we can say is "good choice".
In fact, the whole Borough of Richmond upon Thames has some
really lovely places to live such as Kew, Barnes, Ham,
Strawberry Hill, Teddington and Hampton - all of which are
highly desirable.

Shopping - We have some excellent shopping in the
borough, but Richmond Surrey has the very best. The
high street has pretty much all the major stores from The
Gap, Top Shop and Ted Baker to HMV, House of Fraser and
Marks and Spencer. More information about high street
shopping at
Totally Richmond - Shopping and if you're more
interested in the many farmers markets -

Transport - we're
fortunate that the area has many train and bus stations, and
both Richmond and Kew Gardens have tube stations on the
district line. And good public transport is a bonus in
the area as the the majority of parking is for permit
holders only. However one of the benefits of
Richmond's location is its accessibility to Heathrow Airport
by car. For more transport and travel info, visit
