We frequented a lot of the pubs in Richmond, especially for the quintessential English Sunday Roast. The Pitcher and Piano located beside Richmond Bridge is great for drinks and sharing plates, sitting outside in their large open deck fronting the river.The White Cross is right on the river’s edge and is in fact partially in the river when the tide gets really high. The Thames floods on a regular basis and the flooding has become a tourist attraction in itself. Time your visit right or you may get trapped here when the waters rise.
The White Swan was my favorite pub and is Richmond’s best-kept secret. Tucked away on a small lane behind the village green, most people don’t know it’s there. It is only tiny but there is nowhere like it for an incredible meal and a couple of pints.
Settle in by the fire and listen to the locals catching up on gossip or sit out the back in the sunny beer garden.
