The Museum of Rugby at Twickenham Stadium is one of Richmond borough must-see tourist attractions for sports fans, housing the largest collection of rugby memorabilia in the world.
Great pulling factor for Twickenham which should benefit many other businesses. Customers from all over the world visit this attraction and it may be worth have literature on other businesses in the museum area so if customers want to go for lunch they know where to go. A hidden gem in the area that could be used by local residents when they have family visiting.

Possessing over 500 years of royal history, most closely associated with King Henry VIII's reign, the world renowned tourist attraction Hampton Court Palace allows you to explore its stunning interiors and gardens offering you an insight into Tudor life and royal excess. Within easy reach of both Richmond and Twickenham, it's a perfect day out for the family.
What a great day out we had here, a few things helped, the weather was great, there were staff in period costumes, and Oh, I had a 5 year old little girl who pretended she was a real princess for three hours, delightful. The maze is great too so be sure you dont miss it. The best thing is when you are there you feel a million miles away, but in reality it is a 5 min walk from a mainline.

Conveniently situated just north of Hampton Court Palace, Bushy Park is the second largest of the Royal Parks, possessing a distinct rural feel, and exeplifies Richmond's reputation as one of the greenest boroughs in London.
We're so lucky in Richmond to have not just Richmond Park but also Bushy Park - a great place for families, cyclists and runners. It's small enough not to get lost in, but walking around you always discover something new - like the Pheasantry Welcome Centre or the water gardens.
