Thanks to the wonders of the internet I found out via US blogger Coyote about events in Richmond upon Thames. I used to go into Richmond every Saturday with a gaggle of other eleven year old girls to shop for three hours and eventually buy a notebook with a picture of a cat on it for seventeen and a half pence.

Fronting the river, approximately 500 metres off the main High Street, you’ll find the rather spectacular Bingham Restaurant & Bar (and Hotel). We’ve been to Richmond Upon Thames for a few restaurant reviews now and have to say that we love the area.

Looking up and taking time to slow down and look all around is always rewarding in Richmond upon Thames. I like the hint of "roof-top apartment " just entering the picture on the left.
