If it’s shopping you seek, look<br />
no further than Richmond upon<br />
Thames, where great stores<br />
and an even better atmosphere<br />
combine to make a day at the<br />
shops an event to remember.<br />
Showcasing a plethora of top<br />
high-street retailers as well as<br />
unique boutiques and specialty<br />
shops, Richmond is a shopper’s<br />
paradise. In Twickenham, the<br />
streets are worth a peek where<br />
treats like gourmet chocolates<br />
and handmade jewellery await<br />
those who venture a browse in<br />
Brewer’s Lane, Paved Court,<br />
Golden Court, Church Court and<br />
Hill Rise. A mere 15 minutes from<br />
central London, the short trip to<br />
Richmond will be well worth it<br />
for power shoppers and casual<br />
browsers alike.<br />
shopping<br />
cobbled stones of Church Street<br />
lead to one-of-a-kind outlets<br />
like Par-Ici, whose merchandise<br />
is all locally made, and Sam<br />
Salvoni, where you can pick up<br />
a fabulous hand-made custom<br />
hat. The borough’s other cobbled<br />
“The hotel was only<br />
fi ve minutes from the<br />
fantastic boutiques<br />
and arcades in<br />

Richmond Cemetary<br />
Remembering the past becomes<br />
a fascinating experience in<br />
Richmond upon Thames. A visit to<br />
the Poppy Factory in Petersham<br />
Road will take you behind the<br />
scenes of an operation that<br />
produces 38 million remembrance<br />
poppies a year in honour and<br />
tomb in the shape of an Arab<br />
tent, who lies in the cemetery of<br />
the Church of St. Mary Magdalen<br />
in North Worple Way – and the<br />
area’s rich heritage of sport is not<br />
missed out either. The grave of<br />
Ebenezer Cobb Morley, founder<br />
and first secretary of the Football<br />
tombs and history…<br />
memory of the country’s service<br />
men and women, complete with a<br />
guided tour and tea and biscuits.<br />
The borough’s military history can<br />
also be explored in its cemeteries,<br />
the final resting place for seven<br />
Victoria Cross holders. Explorers<br />
themselves rest in Richmond’s<br />
burial grounds – including Sir<br />
Richard Burton, whose grave<br />
is accompanied by a sculpted<br />
Association, lies quietly hidden<br />
in Barnes. Even beyond the<br />
former glory of their inhabitants,<br />
the borough’s cemeteries offer<br />
pastoral surroundings and a<br />
peaceful getaway, and a stop in<br />
won’t leave you disappointed.<br />

When you are looking for a place to<br />
stay, you need a rating system you<br />
can trust. The Quality in Tourism (QiT)<br />
ratings are your clear guide to what to<br />
expect, in an easy-to-understand form.<br />
Properties are visited annually by trained,<br />
impartial assessors so you can have<br />
confidence that your accommodation has<br />
been thoroughly checked and rated for<br />
quality before you make a booking.<br />
Hotels are given a rating from one to five stars<br />
- the more stars, the higher the quality and the<br />
greater the range of facilities and level of services<br />
provided.<br />
to book the accommodation that meets your<br />
expectations. All accommodation in this guide<br />
has been assessed by Quality in Tourism and is<br />
rated accordingly. The exception is properties that<br />
are marked “QiT applied”. These properties have<br />
applied to be rated and at the time of the guide<br />
going to print were awaiting their assessment.<br />
The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames<br />
VisitRichmond cannot accept any responsibility for<br />
the quality of this accommodation.<br />
Booking accommodation in Richmond upon<br />
Thames. Just contact the Richmond Information<br />
Centre (RIC) by telephone, email or in person and<br />
tell them when you want to stay and how much<br />
you want to pay. They will do the rest! You can also<br />
accommodation info<br />
Guest accommodation, which includes<br />
guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, inns and<br />
farmhouses, is rated from one to five diamonds and<br />
stars. The same minimum requirements for facilities<br />
and services apply to all guest accommodation<br />
from one to five diamonds. Progressively<br />
higher levels of quality and customer care must<br />
be provided for each of the one to five<br />
diamond ratings.<br />
Self-catering establishments are rated from<br />
one to five stars. The more stars awarded to an<br />
establishment, the higher levels of quality you can<br />
expect. Establishments at higher rating levels also<br />
have to meet some additional requirements for<br />
facilities. Quality in Tourism ratings are your sign<br />
of quality assurance, giving you the confidence<br />
book your accommodation online through the RIC<br />
by visiting the website below. For all bookings a £3<br />
booking fee is charged. A 10% deposit (of the first<br />
night’s stay) towards the cost of accommodation<br />
is also charged which will be deducted from<br />
your account by the accommodation at which<br />
you stay. If you’re booking over the telephone or on<br />
the internet, please make sure you have your credit/<br />
debit card details ready. For the latest information<br />

Any problems? If you have a complaint or<br />
problem, please remember the best way to<br />
get an issue resolved is to let the proprietor or<br />
manager know at the time. If you are not satisfied,<br />
a copy of any written complaint should be sent<br />
to the Richmond Information Centre, Old Town<br />
Hall, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond, TW9 1TP for<br />
our records. Richmond Information Centre<br />
will formally respond to your complaint and send<br />
it to the assessing authority. The Richmond<br />
Information Centre has no statutory authority over<br />
establishments and is unable to get involved with<br />
legal or contractual issues, or give legal advice.<br />
Points to Remember<br />
• Advance booking is always advisable, especially<br />
at peak times.<br />
• Always give an expected arrival time and phone if<br />
you are delayed (accommodation providers may<br />
re-let the accommodation if they think you are<br />
not turning up as arranged).<br />
• It is advisable to take out holiday travel insurance.<br />
• A telephone or written booking can form a<br />
legally binding contract. The proprietor is entitled<br />
to claim compensation if you fail to take up<br />
the booking.<br />

Unter allen Stadtteilen Londons ist Richmond<br />
einzigartig. Mitten hindurch fließt die Themse an<br />
eleganten Häusern und wunderschönen Gärten<br />
vorbei und vermittelt über eine Strecke von 33<br />
Kilometern ein Gefühl ländlicher Atmosphäre. Der<br />
Fluß verbindet das Schloß von Hampton Court und<br />
die Königlichen Botanischen Gärten in Kew mit den<br />
Orten Richmond und Twickenham. In diesem von<br />
Angehörigen des Königshauses und von berühmten<br />
Künstlern und Staatsmännern bevorzugten<br />
Viertel gibt es großartige Parks zu entdecken und<br />
eine Vielfalt architektonischer Stilrichtungen zu<br />
bewundern wie auch zahlreiche ausgezeichnete<br />
