About the area

Richmond and Kew make up a green, leafy area in south-west London. Richmond Park, home to wild deer, and the World Heritage Kew Gardens let you capture grand natural footage you can't get in central London. The view of the Thames from Richmond Hill is famous as a view protected by law. It takes about 30 minutes by train from the centre, but it's a top photo spot for creators after nature and cinematic shots.
