The perfect mix of country land city life. What's not to love!
Melissa
What isn't there to love about Richmond? Spending a bit of time in Richmond Park you can get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and feel like your in the countryside for a while, but ten minutes later you can be back on the high street with its mix of big brands and independent shops. During the day you have a multitude of cafes for coffee and lunch which on nice days can be taken down the the gorgeous riverside or over to the expansive green. For you evenings there's a plethora of pubs, bars and restaurants with many putting on live music, quizzes and other entertainment. For a slightly more cultured evening you have two theatres to choose from, one standard theatre and one in the round. For film fans there isn't just one cinema but three including one art house cinema with a diverse selection of small homegrown titles and international films. The transport links can take you into central within an hour and those who drive can be in the country in the same amount of time. To be honest, I can not think of anywhere better to live.

A South-West London town on a meander of the River Thames, Richmond has a rural feel thanks to its many parks, open spaces, and protected conservation areas. This blend of town and country life has made it especially popular with families looking for a quieter pace of life conveniently close to Central London. The town is 8.2 miles (13.2 km) west-southwest of Charing Cross. Richmond has excellent transport links and superb amenities, including shops, restaurants and bars, pubs, theatres and cinemas, museums and galleries, and sporting facilities. There also are several high-performing schools in the town.
