Richmond is one of the jewels of Greater London. Once a centre of Royal patronage, it attracted the wealthy and well-to-do who built their home here. A small diversion will take you to its fabulous Georgian Green.
Kew Gardens should not be missed, (you have to pay to get in).
Syon house and Isleworth are well worth the walk. Brentford is currently changing rapidly with massive new developments and a new premiership club.
