“Great shop at Richmond Hill with everything you need. Even boza!”
“I had a fascinating first visit to the National Archives researching my family history. I started my application online for a readers card which is essential to be able too use the full archive but it was a simple process, which I completed when I arrived at Kew. The assistance I received from the staff at the National Archive was excellent, they were patient and understanding and seemed to have as much time to give as was needed to help visitors get the best out of their visit. Parking... There is adequate parking available which is payable using machines in the main foyer. Blue Badge Parking... There is a good number of Parking spaces for those with Blue Badges, split between the front and back of the building. Disabled Access... The building is well designed for all people using the facilities, with ramps and lifts as an alternative to stairs. Toilet facilities are equally well thought out. Food and Drink... There is a large refreshment area with both casual seating if you're just having a quick Coffee plus a large number of places to eat at tables. Be sure to check the closing time of the hot food service, it isn't the same as the Archives. I went on a Thursday which is the late opening day of the National Archives, yet although the archive wasn't closing until 7pm, the hot food stopped at 2pm and there definitely wasn't a full choice of options at 1.30pm. There is book-come-gift shop on the same floor as the refreshment area.”
