The 30 Best Unique shopping in Richmond

“Exceptional quality and service! From the moment I walked into Richmond Kitchens, the whole experience was a pleasure. The end result is a beautiful kitchen that’s genuinely beyond what I expected. They use Leicht kitchens, which are absolutely stunning — top quality and fully bespoke to your space. There’s also a huge range of worktops and appliances to choose from, so it really feels tailored to you. Matt’s design was brilliant. He made the most of the space and adapted the plan seamlessly to fit with the building work, including new windows and doors. The installation was on time, done to perfection and any small follow-up bits were sorted quickly and efficiently. I spoke to a few other local suppliers before deciding but it was the quality and level of service that drew me to Richmond Kitchens and they completely delivered.”

“Very friendly husband and wife team. Both give very good haircuts at a reasonable price. A would highly recommend them.”

“Madeleine was incredibly helpful and supportive during our baby carrier consultation! She took time to understand our needs, showed us multiple options, and helped us get a great fit with our chosen carrier. The follow-up information and resources were really clear and useful too. It’s such a valuable service for new parents — we left feeling more confident and comfortable with babywearing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for guidance and hands-on support with slings or carriers.”

“Picked this venue for a coffee after reading the great reviews and was not disappointed. Don't be fooled by the modest entrance, the shop is a visual cornucopia of artistic delights. The drinks arrived in cute, hand painted cups and saucers, with small wooden spoons and the coffees adorned with coffee art. We sat and took in all the amazing decor which was for sale: cups, small serving dishes, bags, spoons, a menagerie of small crocheted animals with some in key ring form plus so much more. It was a feast for the eyes and brain to take in everything that was on display. The coffee was equally good and hope to try one of the cakes next time. An absolute joy for the senses and would highly recommend.”

“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 a fantastic experience with Mustafa—hands down one of the best barbers I've been to. He took his time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure I was completely happy with the cut before finishing up. You can tell he really takes pride in his work, and it shows in the final result. Highly recommend Mustafa if you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and actually listens to what you want. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I was super happy with this service. I received very fast responses from Alan and he was very professional. I was having a painting sent internationally from the UK to the US. Everything went super smoothly. They picked up when they said they would and they packed the package amazingly well. I was expecting a minimum of 3-5 days to receive it and maybe up to 2-3 weeks for customs. I couldn't believe it but we ended up receiving the package next working day (plus a weekend). Painting was in perfect condition. Will definitely use again.”

“Had my first tattoo here, my decision making was purely based on seeing that a famous Richmond local had done his there too.. but I had a great experience, very friendly bunch, they even offered me pizza from their lunch break! I did my own design and they just implemented it.. thank you for providing me with what I wanted”

“A true gem within Ted Lasso land. Seriously cool clothes , good value for money. I wish there would be more shops like this in Richmond. Highly recommend!”

“A great approach to buying healthier food, avoiding plastic packaging + a good range of choice & helpful staff”

“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.”

“I would just like to share an exceptional experience that I had at Reiss Richmond. The service I received a couple of days ago with the manager Paulina was outstanding. I only came in to pass some time as my wife was having her hair done and ended up leaving with 2 bags full of lovely items. There was no pressure put on me just honest and comfortable conversation regarding the garments. Her knowledge is second to none and service was attentive to detail. Not at any point was I made to feel rushed or a burden. Would highly recommend anyone looking for clothing to go there and ask for her to get the same experience. Will definitely be returning with my wife as she is now jealous of my collection.”

“This place is amazing. Awesome selection of high quality baby clothes, shoes, toys and equipment !”

“What a lovely and amazing place. The dining rooms are as beautiful as the food. Its however more expensive than a Michelin starred restaurant. £394 for 4 of us. So control the drinking! Loved the litre of sicilian lemonade, reminded me of Glastonbury lemonade carts. My only little gripe, was it was winter, I had a long coat, and the host should have taken our coats as there is only a dirt floor and your coat tails trail in the dust. They eventually came to hang it up in their cloakroom”

“The Afternoon Tea was genuinely faultless from start to finish. It was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The vegetarian options were superb – particularly the wrap and the tomato/tofu cream. We'll be dreaming of the meringue, eclair and scones for weeks! The staff were so accommodating, attentive and helpful. I'm already looking for another excuse to visit again!”

“Great shop at Richmond Hill with everything you need. Even boza!”

“Such an amazing and cozy showroom! I live in the area for a few years now and somehow never seen this place! Definitely recommend visiting, lots of interesting decor items, accessories and jewellery! Fantastic customer service :)”

“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.”

“I ordered today on Uber eats and it was great. I really wanted good quality sushi, the melt in your mouth kind. The sushi was exactly that!. My little sister especially loved it. Thanks for your hard work :).”

“I had a fantastic experience buying flowers here. A warm and welcoming Korean lady helped me decide what was best for my girlfriend’s taste and the budget I had. She sealed some water beneath the flowers as I told her I would be out for another couple of hours. Excellent customer service and not too expensive. Would highly recommend.”

“Great supplier, Excellent product in all sizes, friendly, knowledgeable, and motivated staff”

“This boutique is truly exceptional, offering impeccable service that left me thoroughly impressed. The sales assistants here go above and beyond, not only providing assistance but also showcasing their problem-solving skills. I encountered an issue with my payment, and they displayed remarkable patience and willingness to help, even going as far as charging my phone to facilitate the payment process. They have a knack for finding the most incredible pieces for my son at the best prices, items I might have missed otherwise. Additionally, their expert advice was invaluable. Thanks to this outstanding individualized approach, I am now a loyal fan of the brand and cannot wait to shop here again.”

“Love this shop. High quality, stylish items.”

“Thank you so much, Ollie and Monika, for your kind, professional, and efficient service. After a frustrating experience with Office Customer Service, your support was a breath of fresh air. You handled everything swiftly and with genuine care, and I truly appreciate your help. You've made a difficult situation so much easier, thank you again!”

“We recently purchased a sofa from this company and I have to say, I am incredibly impressed with their customer service. We have been greeted by salesperson and from the moment we walked into the store, we were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to help me find the perfect sofa for my home. Throughout the process, they were patient and attentive, answering all of my questions and offering expert advice on everything from fabric choices to sizing. They even went above and beyond to help me with delivery and assembly, ensuring that my new sofa was set up exactly how I wanted it. Overall, I can't recommend this company enough for their outstanding customer service. They truly care about their customers and it shows in every interaction. Thank you, for making our sofa buying experience such a positive one! Finally, the sofa was delivered two weeks ago and the people were fantastic. They did a great job by delivering the sofa with care and putting them together. Thank you.”

“Great cafe in Putney. Ignore the chains on the high street and you'll be rewarded. Good range of gluten free cakes, smoothies, coffees.”

“Excellent service. I've been a customer of Nabi for years, and never has he managed to disappoint. Furthermore, the Haircuts are always great, and the experience has been brought to a whole new level with the VIP room.”
