Improbable Richmond: Royals, Rebels & Rock Stars - Sunday Special
From Henry VIII to Ted Lasso. From riots to a rock revolution. Welcome to Richmond. More than just a pretty riverside…
Richmond has been drawing improbable people to this corner of London for a thousand years. Royals, rogues, writers and rock stars; and one or two people you'd never expect.
This two-hour walk with your local guide tells their stories, while giving you the chance to soak up the atmosphere, discover the mysteries and admire the beautiful views that drew people here in the first place.
Highlights include:
- The club that launched the Rolling Stones - while the Beatles watched from the crowd.
- A royal palace, home to Henry VIII and Elizabeth I, now hidden in plain sight.
- A cricket match that ended in a riot. A pub that floods.
- The view that inspired Turner, Jagger and the founder of Richmond, Virginia - and the unlikely hero who saved it.
- And of course, all the locations that inspired Ted Lasso. Including a corner of Amsterdam!
