Training in Richmond

“Long running family run professional barbers. Extremely friendly staff, with excellent barber skills, able to work with all hair types. Very cool place, with a graffiti ceiling you must see and hyper on trend. This should be the ONLY barber's you go to.”

“Done the Phlebotomy training with Stefania. She was such a patient and knowledgeable teacher. The training was very interactive, educative, and insightful. I’d do more courses with the school owing to my experience so far.”

“The coaches at Sports Generation are excellent. My son did not enjoy swimming at all before we joined Sports Generation and the coaches there quickly managed to get him really excited about swimming lessons. We went from my son dreading swimming lessons to him actually really looking forward to them. They have taught him excellent skills and technique as well - all in a fun way.”

“What an impressive building in the middle of the Richmond park. Commissioned in 1725 as a hunting lodge for George I, White Lodge remains part of the Crown Estate to this day and partly housing the well known The Royal Ballet School. Here a little bit of a history: A misunderstood politician John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute (1713–1792) was appointed Ranger of the Park by George III in 1761 and took up residence at White Lodge. In 1801, George III assigned White Lodge to Henry Addington (a middle-class Prime Minister), later Viscount Sidmouth, as a ‘grace and favour’ residence. Addington, who served as Prime Minister from 1801 to 1804, remained at the Lodge until his death in 1844. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria-Hungary (Sissi) (1837–1898) stayed at White Lodge for the hunting season in the summer of 1874. In 1881 Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry were guests, the famous Victorian actors, who had recently starred at the Lyceum Theatre as Hamlet and Ophelia in Shakespeare’s tragic play of Hamlet. In January 1912, the famous ballerina, Anna Pavlova, and her partner, Laurent Novikoff, performed at Richmond Theatre with the members of the Company of the Imperial Ballet, St Petersburg. Many decades later, students of The Royal Ballet School would follow in Pavlova’s footsteps, dancing each summer at Richmond Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s. On 13 August 1924, there was another royal birth at White Lodge. Prince Aleksander Pavlov Karadorevic was born to Princess Olga of Greece and Denmark and Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, in the same room as that in which Prince Edward of Wales had been born, 30 years earlier. The marriage of Mrs Reynolds Albertini and Colonel James Veitch of the Coldstream Guards was reported in the Evening News on 12 April 1950. They continued to occupy White Lodge after the war, and hosted Marshal Tito there when he came to England on a state visit, March 1953. The Foreign Office agreed to Tito’s entourage being 29 strong, but let only 12 reside with him at White Lodge. For security reasons, Tito was not accommodated in a London. During the Autumn Term of the new academic year 1955/6, the first cohort of students boarding at White Lodge had to travel to their daily lessons at the School's Colet Gardens site in Barons Court, as the Stable Block classrooms were not yet ready.”

“Very nice pub in a nice location next to the train line. Delicious food and great service.”

“Highly recommended due to the warm, welcoming and professional team in charge. Had lunch ahead of the rugby at Twickenham and we were well looked after. Great food too!”

“Soft play on weekends and during school holidays. Two bouncy castles and lots of other soft play tots for the kids.”

“Alex absolutely SAVED me this weekend. I had my hair done at a different hairdressers and I was so upset with how it turned out. I went to Millers for some desperate help to fix it and Alex was amazing, so attentive and made sure I left happy with my new hair. Can't recommend enough - will definitely be coming back”

“First time at this particular PI and the difference between here and the one up the road (London Twickenham Stadium) are poles apart. There is parking but we turned up around 21:00 and I was lucky to find a spot; the car park does serve the Beefeater next door. The front door is automatic which is handy when you have a lot of bags but the inner doors are manual. We were greeted by a friendly, very helpful and enthusiastic member of staff. Our room was on the first floor (no lift) at the front of the building and although there was a busy main road and a bus stop outside it wasn’t that noisy. The room and bathroom seem bigger and as usual the bed is very comfortable. The wardrobe/ shelving unit is lovely and big, easily fits 4 days of our clothes and four big shelves for all your other bits. In this PI the rooms have A/C and having bus stops outside is an added bonus. Only negative is that the toilets don’t flush very well.”

“Lovely pool, it is split into a main pool and learner pool so that’s nice for swimmers. Lane and general swim available. My daughter has swimming lessons here and the standard of teaching is high. The kids are pushed enough to be competitive but not so much that it’s negative competition. There are windows down two sides of the pool so when the sun is low you get beautiful dappled light in the water which feels lovely to swim in. One of the most unpretentious swimming pools around! Check it out next time you want a swim!”

“Lovely staff, very attentive. When the item I wanted wasn’t in store, they did the online order for me.”

“Great service - team was patient and knowledgeable but not "pushy" . Selection was just enough ie choice of 3-4 but not 15 (would be overwhelming for a novice like me). And there was a bit of sales on too so great to have a good price points.”

“This really is the best Pet Shop I've ever been in! The staff are fantastic; friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble and advice is always available. They have so many different products; you can't fault the choice or the pricing. If you live locally; then do pop in; you'll be sure of a warm welcome. Our dog loves it!”

“Very good service, the lady who did my highlights advised me on the cut and aftercare. The result was fabulous. I’m super happy with the shade and cut. Very reasonably priced as well. I will come again.”

“I had a haircut today and was very pleased. Amelia did a great job! Everyone was kind and they did exactly what I asked for. You also get a lovely head massage during the washing. Make sure you book in advance because they are always busy.”

“Such a great class! Julia is so lovely and my baby loved every session - we went for a full year. More affordable/accessible than lots of other classes out there and I met some really nice other mums/babies too. Would highly recommend!”

“I had the best result of wrinkle-relaxing treatment on my forehead and nasolabial line treatments by using dermal fillers. Dr Salimi explains all procedures very well, by discussing the best options and coming up with the best one and reaching an agreement for that. He uses the best material that are available in the market and I have never had any complications after his treatments. I definitely recommend him to anyone for aesthetic treatments.”

“I have booked the apartment for my brother and sister in - law for a 16 days, they loved the apartment. It is very well equipped, clean, and comfortable and near the shops in St Margaret. Jenny is very kind and made the check- in very easy. Without a doubt I will recommend.”

“Kish is my daughter’s second home and she is looking forward to going in every day. The kids have space to run around, roll in mud and explore the way kids should. As a picky parent I can comfortably say that Kish provides the highest standard of care, teaches important values and guides the children to become the most wonderful humans every child has the potential to be.”

“All the guys at the desk are super helpful. The facilities are excellent, I used to play badminton there when it had the Whitton "Dome" visible from the A316, but now it's been brought bang up to date with the new school buildings. The only slight downside is that a badminton training there is more expensive than Hampton with the danger amount of time and the same coach”

“Roman is a fantastic martial arts teacher and we feel so lucky to have found him. Not only is he technically brilliant - and this alone sets him apart - he is also kind, clever, decent and good fun. He effortlessly manages the interruptions of me, my husband and my overly affectionate 4 year old whilst teaching my 11 year old in a way that is professional, fun and inspiring. We wouldn’t be without him. He is a brilliant teacher and a lovely guy.”

“Both my kids love these classes. My son has been going from 5 months and it’s by far his favourite class. My daughter is in the toddler class and likes them so much she asked to hire them for her bday party which was a big hit!”

“Nice service on time I am using a many times”

“Last collection times: Mon-Fri 16.45 Sat 12.30”

“The staff here are so amazing. My husband who has young onset dementia attends 2 days a week and I cannot fault the place . It allows me to have some freedom in the knowledge that he is safe and cared for.”

“Very caring, efficient and reliable service!”
