Richmond residents are Londoners who get to have their cake and eat it. It has a river promenade, a lovely green, a superb prospect from its Hill, a historic past, 2,500 acres of primeval English landscape - oaks and deer-dotted in rolling grassland in it's park, and beautiful buildings.
People from elsewhere come to eat out, to be entertained, to visit the pubs and bars, to stroll by the river, cycle or walk around the park. So where's the catch - transport. You can reach central London by tube, train but traffic jams bedevil a street plan laid out largely under the Tudors.
