About Us

Having lived on the outskirts of  Richmond borough for 10 years I finally had a chance to actually move there in 2007. I relocated with my young family delighted in the knowledge that it would be a safe, vibrant place to finally settle down. There was so much to find out about life in Richmond and with no one source of information available, I set about researching the area myself. I was truly amazed at how much one borough had to offer by way of things to do, places to eat, places to visit, green open spaces, highly rated schools and great lifestyle potential. It is no wonder that statistically people that live in the Richmond borough are the happiest and healthiest in the whole of London!

I became passionate about the area and wanted to "spread the joy" by providing the community with a comprehensive and informative means of rediscovering the borough. I hope that Guide2Richmond can provide the people of the community and any potential residents with a vast amount of information all in one place whilst making their browsing experience a pleasure and an enlightenment.
