Store in Richmond

“I bought some products as I wanted to improve the condition of my hair and also wanted to use more natural henna dye. I had previously used henna from Amazon but my hair just turned orange! Alex took the time to ask many questions about my hair and scalp to tailor the best products for my needs. The henna this time has given me a much more natural colour which I love. I haven’t used all products yet but my favourite is the hair mask. It was quite expensive but the results have been fantastic, reduced frizz and really nourished the condition of the hair. I really recommend the salon. I should note that all consultations were remote as I am based in Belfast but next time I am in london I will visit in person as the service and quality of products have been fantastic”

“These guys have the best fruit around. Happy to support a local business by shopping here.”

“A good selection of German Weißbier for a uk retailer. Bonus points from me for that and the fact that they stock Cuban cigars. Not an amazing selection as they don't stock anything bigger than 5.5" but they have my favourite brand, Punch, as well as Romeo y Julietta, Montecristo, and Bolivar.”

“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.”

“Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly service always. Ear wax removal service is brilliant - easy to book and then a quick and effective session. Winner!”

“We absolutely love Mucky Pups for our puppy's food and treats. They stock a great selection of high quality raw and natural treats (plus a good selection of other types of food too) and the lady who owns it is not only lovely but super knowledable about dog food and really helpful. We drive from Chelsea just to get our food from here even though we could buy it closer to home as we love this business so much. There is a groomers in the back also and the dogs always seem so happy and look fabulous after their grooms!”

“Lovely cafe, bigger than it looks. Large selection of home made snacks and pastries. Great atmosphere. Perfect for breakfast”

“Excellent customer service , lovely employees and lovely managers, helped me sort out an online order and an item that was faulty . Best shop in Richmond .”

“First time in this store and first purchase. The staff were lovely, assisting me to exchange a Christmas gift smoothly and with no hassle. Decided to try on some items, Imogen was super efficient, attentive and with a friendly manner, arranged to have trousers altered as part of the free service provided. As a much older customer I can feel a little intimidated, but I will definitely be back, thank you.”

“The best Breakfast in the area!! Proper English Breakfast, delicate coffee, super friendly staff, not noisy inside at all... That is what you need for a hangover :) Seriously: the owner/boss is a great guy and it is not only my opinion, the staff says the same too and maybe this is the recipe for Cappuccino success. Always smiling Klaudia and Asia will help you with delicious choices, been there so many times, just love it! Kids friendly place too, no matter how busy the place is. Merry Christmas from Maciej and family... and C u after New Years!! :)”

“Lovely impromptu coffee stop in East Putney. Decaf americano excellent as was my cheese tomato egg toastie especially made on request. Thanks for a really nice experience!”

“Delicious meals, great service, local atmosphere! I enjoyed breakfast so much! I definitely come back here✌️”

“I’ve been visiting this lovely café in Putney quite often lately, and it’s become one of my go-to spots in the area. The atmosphere is calm and inviting never too noisy, just the right place to relax, read, or catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and there’s a genuine warmth in the service that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in. The coffee is consistently good, smooth and full of flavor. You can tell they care about quality; every cup feels freshly made. But what truly stands out here is their banana bread it’s freshly baked every morning, perfectly moist, and has that subtle hint of cinnamon that makes it irresistible. It’s simple but absolutely delicious, and no surprise that it sells out quickly during the day. Beyond coffee and pastries, the food menu is also impressive. They have tasty brunch options and light meals that are fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. Everything feels made with care rather than rushed or pre-made. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe great coffee, fresh food, and genuinely kind people. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around Putney!”

“I had black Americano and my wife had cappuccino, we both really enjoyed our drinks a lot. My Americano had that light fruity aftertaste that you often only find with very high quality, it was genuinely very delicious. The interior is relaxing, calm and light and we really appreciate the soft music as well, not at all over the top. I love what this place is going for, as I am new to the area it's nice to find a place nearby that I know I can be comfortable in. The woman serving us on Monday 6th was also very kind.”

“I recently visited Artisan Coffee, just a short 5-minute walk from Putney Station, and had such a lovely experience! There’s an Italian barista there who truly stands out – she is warm, hospitable, and has such a kind, welcoming presence. She makes excellent coffee with great attention to detail, and her patience and friendly attitude toward every customer really make the café feel special. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet genuinely caring. Highly recommend this spot for both the amazing coffee and the wonderful service!”

“A very nice beauty n nail salon. With lovely staff that make you feel very welcome. Excellent manicure & pedicure. & other beauty treatments.”

“Unusually small queues here. It's my favourite one to go to for that reason. Also with a handful of other building suppliers in the same forecourt it's very handy. Great little bakery just around the corner for a cheeky sausage roll in the mornings too.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Toolstation Putney As part of my work with Handyman Arts, I often find myself needing quality tools and materials at short notice. One day, I was doing a job in Putney when a customer urgently needed a bathroom fan replacement. Time was tight, and I didn’t want to keep the client waiting. Luckily, Toolstation Putney was just a five-minute drive away. I popped in and immediately found exactly what I needed. The staff were incredibly helpful, guiding me straight to the right product. The customer service was spot on – quick, friendly, and professional. This kind of support makes a real difference for small businesses like mine. Thank you, Toolstation Putney – you saved the day and helped me keep my client happy! —Khaled Handyman Arts”

“I am so going back there! It was a very quick visit for a few potatoes, however, I saw fruits and vegetables I'd not really heard of before. Looking forward to expanding my knowledge, and pallet, with different veggies! Oh, saw them and couldn't resist.. fresh Queen olives, garlic and chilli. Nearly forgot the potatoes! :)”

“This is a very cosy delicatessen with a great range of Italian products in accessible prices, classics such as Pan di Stelle (my favourite) but also with a carefully selected and sourced choice of cheese and ham from Italy and many other great gourmet foods (Sicilian olive oil and pistachio cream changed my life ”

“I live nearby and love popping in here, usually for coffees and croissants. Nice sourdough bread too. Lovely friendly staff. A little bit of Sicily/Italy in Ham :)”

“We were served by Fabiene and Eric at the Richmond store on Saturday and it was possibly the best sales experience we’ve ever experienced, regardless of what we were purchasing. The store room itself was stunning and from the second we arrived we were looked after brilliantly by both Fabiane and Eric. Fabiane was attentive without ever being pushy, and knows so much about the products offered. We felt very comfortable to make our purchase with her support. She also offered a box of toys to keep our two young children entertained (game changer!) and we were served a hot drink within minutes of entering the store. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Raft Richmond to anyone, and infact already have!”

“We booked with Yasha back in January and she was so helpful and lovely, weve just got back from our trip which was amazing, we got a really good deal and will be 100% booking again asap xx”

“Absolutely LOVELY staff. We come here regularly, even when we don't need to buy anything for our pets - my kids love looking at the animals. Always made to feel welcome and always pleasantly surprised at how friendly and knowledgeable the staff are.”

“Friendly neighbourhood vet. We have been visiting them for the last 4 years for checkups and minor operations and they have always been helpful and professional.”

“We were helped with our end of life care for our cat. The staff were so kind, so compassionate and were so patient with us at this difficult time. We took our new kitten for his first vaccination the vet was so good with him and ensured we were familiar with what was happening. Would definitely recommend this veterinary clinic”

“I popped in to ask if they could fix my silver ring which had entirely lost its shape upon heavy impact. After only two minutes I walked out with my ring fixed and back on my finger - free of charge! Friendly and fast service.”

“David and his team are lovely, fun and knowledgeable jewellers. We walked into the shop just intending to have a look and his team were kind and patient in showing us all the options, without applying any pressure whatsoever. We ended up buying a high quality ring for a really reasonable price. Highly recommend!”

“I recently bought a gift for my wife from this jeweller and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in helping me find the perfect piece of jewellrey. The selection was also fantastic, with a wide range of beautiful and unique pieces to choose from. The gift was a huge hit with my wife, and I know I'll be returning to this jeweller for future purchases. Highly recommend!”

“The staff are amazing and creative. They were the main florists for my daughters funeral. The flowers were beautifully arranged. Thank you very much.”
