Sunny day walking along the Richmond Riverside

Londoners it seems like the hard, cold winter is coming to an end! This sunny and warm Tuesday (nearly 15 degrees) I decided to go for a walk along the Richmond Riverside, one of the hidden gems of London. Located 9 miles south west from the city centre, you can easily get there by tube with the District Line or using the London Overground.

This charming place owns its name to the Richmond Palace, a royal residency built by Henry VII in the 15th century. Nowadays, it’s a wealthy residential area known for its Royal Park: a National Nature Reserve where you can easily spot deers; and the Thames Riverside containing many bars and restaurants.
 
 
 
 
I highly recommend Gaucho's Restaurant to enjoy a delicious beef steak, or Vodka Revolution for a cocktail or a bit to eat. Both places sits on the Thames towpath just to the west of Richmond Bridge, with indoor and outdoor seating directly overlooking the river.
