Just a 15min walk away, perfect for a stroll or a whole day out. Isabella Plantation is beautiful in Spring, do not miss! Richmond Park feels like you are literally out in the English countryside, sometimes you do not see anyone for so long you forget you're in London.

The most delightful ambiance you have ever had the pleasure of drinking tea in! Yes the drinks and cakes are on the pricier side but the setting makes up for it! It's in the middle of a nursery and a lovely amble through nature from Richmond Town.
