Situated in the Richmond Hill botanical gardens, this cafe is a wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by. It’s also right next to the river for walking off whatever you bought, afterwards.

Not technically Kew or Richmond but only a short bus ride away. This restaurant is on the pricey side but is absolutely wonderful and the food is amazing. Sit under the pergola if you can.
