The 30 Best Unforgettable experience in Richmond

“I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Aga at Trevor Sorbie Richmond, and it genuinely exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, she created a space that felt calm, kind, and completely attuned to me. I’d shared that I have ADHD - something I often hesitate to mention - but she picked up on exactly how best to work with that. She explained things clearly, without overwhelm, and made it easy for me to ask questions and feel at ease just being myself. That kind of intuitive empathy is rare. What really stood out, though, is her expertise. She’s not just skilled - she’s deeply knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about her craft. We talked through their new colour system (Yuv) and how to achieve a look that would be both long-lasting and flattering as it grows out. Her recommendations were spot on, and the result is both effortless and elevated - subtle highlights with face-framing that really lifts the whole look. The salon itself is lovely (the massage chairs at the backwash were bliss), and I left with sleek, healthy hair and a big smile on my face. See the photos — they say it all. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“I had the most amazing experience at Rock and Rose in Richmond. The food was great - my friend and I ordered the crispy tempura shrimp, the chicken milanese, the lamb leg steak and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - can't fault anything, tasted amazing! The drinks were delicious too, the bartenders put on a whole show for us and it added to the experience. The staff were all so lovely and hospitable, I loved the decor and ambience inside and it was super packed which goes to show how popular it is. Thank you so much for having us, this place is a hidden gem for sure! Can't wait to return ✨️”

“I went to The Princess Head for a Sunday roast, mainly because it was featured in the American TV series Ted Lasso, and I’ve been exploring the hidden gems of London lately. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the food since touristy spots can be hit or miss, but wow… it completely blew me away. We ordered both the chicken roast and the lamb roast. Both were delicious, though slightly on the expensive side. I had the lamb roast, and it was beyond words; beautifully tender, literally falling off the bone, with rich, velvety gravy, golden roast potatoes cooked to perfection, and creamy cauliflower cheese that tied everything together. The chicken roast was fantastic too, but the lamb was definitely the star of the show. The ambience was warm and inviting, full of charm, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. You’ll spot quite a few American tourists enjoying the vibe, which adds to the lively, welcoming feel of the place. To top it off, the pub sits right opposite a beautiful little park, and the surrounding street has that quintessential English charm, dotted with small shops selling things related to the show. All in all, it’s the kind of spot that makes you fall in love with London all over again, a true gem I’d highly recommend! ✨”

“Phenomenal experience. Understated luxury. A lot of thought have gone into making the stay unforgettable. The location of the hotel, overlooking fields and the river Thames is truly beautiful.”

“Lovely food and cozy ambience. The staff were super friendly and loved the portion of servings. The Persian tea is a must have in the end! Weekends can be super busy, so better to have a reservation beforehand.”

“Had a spontaneous lunch at Gaucho today with a friend and our server, Mathew, was absolutely fantastic. He’s easily one of the best waiters I’ve ever had — warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. He made sure we were comfortable and checked in throughout without ever being intrusive. His service really made our experience special, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dining here! Wishing you all the best Mathew!!”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“We had a brilliant time at So Bar for a cocktail masterclass! Highly recommend for an event or celebration. The venue is perfect and the team make sure the class is personalised to the group. The cocktails were delicious and Tom and the team made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely recommend thank you So Bar!”

“My husband and I loved dining at this steakhouse! We ordered the Buenasado Grill on the board, and it was delicious! I think it could have had more sausage because it was really tasty! The meats were cooked to perfection, and the provoleta was amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful and pleasant, and the staff were super friendly and polite! We loved”

“Absolutely authentic Thai food, felt just like in Thailand. The service was super good too, extremely friendly and the prices are reasonable. A place surely worth recommending, we will come back!”

“This restaurant is awesome and the food is better than better. Awesome place to eat.”

“Had a lovely stay. The room was great, such a comfy bed and air conditioning was great. The spa was amazing especially loved the garden really unique and made our stay memorable. Food was great also even though we ordered super late!! Whole place smells amazing as well. Friendly staff also.”

“Nice ambience and deco. Wonderful service, prompt and courteous. Food was amazing and coffee was smashing!”

“An excellent restaurant with brilliant service and great sanitation. We felt looked after and safe the entire evening! Food was one of the best we have had in London. We got the aloo tiki chaat, papdi chat, salmon, shashlik and terichelly prawns for the starter and we were blown away by the authentic flavours. My favourite would have to be the aloo tiki chaat and the prawns. Everything tasted fresh and tender with perfectly balanced flavours. For the main meal, we got the methi gobi, chettinad, butter chicken and dal makhani with rice, naan and paratha; all were superb! There was a range of spice levels and something for everyone in the family, veg and non-veg. The portions were a great size and the presentation of the food and drinks made the evening even better. I am normally quite particular and uncompromising about food but I have never been so impressed. We will definitely revisit many more times in the future.”

“A private hire of the Richmond Royale - we had a fantastic trip from Richmond to Hampton Court and back over four hours. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Turks pointed us towards a few caterers - Chilibees made a selection of delicious canapes which were already on the boat for us when we were picked up. A beautiful day to be up on the top deck with a drink or two from the onboard bar, enjoying the river views. Thank you Turks, highly recommended!”

“Every time I go to Richmond I can’t miss my appointment with the best pizza in London!! Michele the owner is always very friendly and his pizza can get very addictive!! Thank you I hope I’ll see you soon. Highly recommended to Pizza lovers ❤️”

“From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. The barber took their time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered a flawless cut that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail and professionalism here are unmatched! If you’re looking for a fresh cut and top-notch service, I highly recommend checking them out. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!”

“I contacted Christian having been recommended his service, and it was such a relief to hand over all our conflicting holiday requirements and questions to him. He is experienced and absolutely dedicated. Communication is fast and he's the ultimate professional, whilst also being able to use his own experience of travelling with a family to really help find the right holiday. Thank you Christian.”

“Our go-to Thai spot—really great food, full of flavor and always fresh. It’s a local gem, but be sure to make a reservation, as it can get quite busy! Definitely worth the visit.”

“Great for Turkish coffee ☕️ Haven’t tried any food yet”

“It was my first ever facial today and I was blessed to have Esey. I couldn’t recommend her enough; her talent and kindness is unbelievable. I will definitely be booking with Esey everytime come. Thank you Esey :)”

“I absolutely love it here. Most welcoming cafe in sheen. The family is delightful and I love learning new Turkish words when I come. I love the Borek and the cakes too.”

“Delicious food at a decent price and lovely service. The cafe has been beautifully redecorated too. Plus we could watch our kids in the playground whilst enjoying the fair!!”

“I loved my experience here. Gabby did an amazing job of my haircut, she listened to what I wanted and provided her expert opinion. I came out with exactly what I wanted, but better than I imagined! I would definitely recommend Gabby to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy hairdresser. Good vibes all round.”

“Welcoming, personal professional service. Quality cut from an experienced stylist who loves his work and that shows! David has cut my hair for over a decade, that alone says alot.”

“I recently visited Public Barbers for a haircut, Alan did my haircut and I have to say, it was easily one of the best barbering experiences I've had. From the moment I walked in, Alan was attentive and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. He offered great advice on what would suit my face shape and hair type, which was immensely helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Alan's haircut skills is exceptional; he's clearly very experienced and passionate about his work. The haircut he gave me was precisely what I wanted – it looked modern, felt great, and was easy to manage. Plus, his attention to detail was second to none. He didn't rush, ensuring every cut was perfect, which really showed in the final result.”

“My wife and I made a last minute booking with Original Travel; they took my brief and then responded quickly with a plan. we reviewed, made a few changes with input from them, and booked the trip. (Two other travel companies had failed to arrange a similar trip). Thereafter whatever unforeseen events interfered in moving locations or hotels was taken care of by OT and their concierge service. The trip, which included going to the Artic, and then north Norway, loads of excursions, all went to plan. Great trip!”

“A super find when we searched for a gastrobar between Roedean & London. Food was excellent, and the service was superb. I appreciated how they tried their best to nudge things along as we had expressed concern over our schedule when we made the reservation. Loved the local garden inclusions in the menu. I would absolutely recommend this space and look forward to returning one day!”

“As a huge fan of Persian & Iranian cuisine, I have to say that this place is a solid 10. The garlic and sesame naan was fragrant and deliciously paired with the juicy koobideh kebab. The rice were fragrant and the flavours enhanced when we asked for some butter to go with them. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive service. Fair pricing about £25pp”

“Wow, honestly what can I say. Understated location which packs a punch!! From the second you walk in, greeted by Zam and Sumit who were the best hosts all evening. But even the exceptional service was outshone by the supreme quality of the food. Unable to fault start to finish. Flavours like nothing else in the area. A must visit!!”
