Richmond barely feels like London at all: deer in the park, rowers on the Thames, and a riverside green that fills with picnic blankets every sunny weekend. For families it's hard to beat, and V&Me now delivers here daily. Meals are cooked fresh each morning in our Battersea kitchen and delivered to your doorstep in Richmond before 10am.
The spots we hear parents come back to, week after week.
A friendly, family-run cafe tucked in Church Court, rated 4.9 stars locally, with generous breakfasts and staff who happily rearrange tables for bigger family groups.
A charming independent two minutes from the station, full of handmade ceramics and serving some of the best acai bowls and Vietnamese coffee in the area.
A cosy family-run spot at the bottom of Richmond Hill with exceptional coffee, toasted banana bread and a genuinely warm welcome - a lovely reward after a hill walk with the carrier.
Because sometimes the best thing you can do all day is get outside.
The biggest of the Royal Parks, with free-roaming deer, ancient woodland and endless space. Petersham Gate and Kingston Gate both have playgrounds, and Pembroke Lodge does a proper afternoon tea.
Landscaped gardens tumbling down Richmond Hill towards the river, with that famous protected view over the Thames. Steep in places, but the lawns are picnic heaven.
A big, flat, open expanse between the town centre and Kew, with a playground and pools complex on one side and plenty of room to run - much quieter than Richmond Park at weekends.
“An excellent service we now couldn't do without - a wonderful variety of flavours, dishes and colours for our daughter, and it saves us hours of cooking every week.”
