Sightseeing
Hampton Court Palace
Hampton Court WayIf you want to get out for a lovely walk then I suggest walking from Twickenham to Richmond along the river. This is something i’ve always enjoyed doing - some weekend mornings I walk (and sometimes even break into a small jog!) and then finish off in Richmond with tea and toast breakfast at Cote or if early evening I finish at the White Cross for something a bit stronger! (And then I bus it back!)

If you’re staying here then I’m sure it goes without saying that London has so much to offer in the way of sightseeing and it’s an easy commute from the appartment either by a slower local train station or hop on the bus to Twickenham for the fast train. Buses and trains all take contactless now, so no need for an Oyster (unless you are a regular visitor to the area and then I would recommend getting an Oyster card)

Shopping
Kingston is your closest large town filled with every high street shop you could possibly need including a huge John Lewis and the Bentalls department store located within the Bentalls mall. Don’t miss walking along the river and enjoying a meal or a glass of something yummy! One of my personal favorites being Busaba Eathai for Thai or Bill’s or Cote for a leisurely breakfast or brunch.

Lovely pub looking out onto Kew Green that does a beautiful roast on a Sunday (you’d need to book!) - I notice that they now offer a ‘picnic on the green’ where they give you blankets and bring your food and drinks out to the green for you! Love that!
