About the pub:
One of the best known pubs in Richmond on account of its rugby ties, the Sun is hugely popular on match days but also with the locals of Richmond. Rugby memorabilia including shirts, photos and cartoon occupies every spare inch of this historic pub that is close to the station and Richmond Theatre. 6 hand pumps. Quiz night is the first Tuesday in the month. The pub is perhaps one of the most unspoiled in Richmond and worth a visit.

About the pub:
A small traditional pub (previously a Young's & Co house) refurbished in 2012 and in a prime location facing Richmond Green. During the summer the front is opened out onto the pavement with garden table/seating. Plastic glasses are used if you are drinking outside. Food served all day. There is an upstairs room that can be used unless it is booked for a private function. There are generally three guest beers available, usually from small independent brewers although one maybe replaced by a house beer brewed by Greene King called Cricketer's Ale. This pub can be quite noisy with piped music.
The pub reopened 19th August 2021 after refurbishment. Also, card payment only.

About the pub:
A friendly, traditional pub dating from 1740 located down a passageway off the main street, right on the corner of the Green. It has a deceptively spacious interior and attracts a slightly older crowd than the neighbouring Cricketers. Sports fans can enjoy televised matches but it is easy to escape around the back where there are a number of cosy seating areas with subdued lighting. A good range of pub grub is available from noon 'til nine every day. After a recent refurbishment the bar now sports eight new Fullers fancy hand-pumps. Outside there are plenty of benches to sit and view the idyllic Green.
Known exterior of TV series Ted Lasso.

About the pub:
A prominent Grade II listed Young's pub, built in 1740 and rebuilt 1838. A stained glass panel commemorates the site of a convent of the Observant Friars, whose insignia was a white cross. The entrance is reached by steps for good reason: the river often floods here. An island bar serves two side rooms (one a mezzanine); an unusual feature is a working fireplace beneath a window. The ground-level patio bar opens at busy times. Food is available every day.

About the pub:
The 'Tap' is hidden away off the main road from Richmond's shoppers and is just a few minutes walk from the Rail Station via a pedestrian path called Waterlow Place.
After a major rework from what was the Richmond Arms, it reopened in July 2017, and a welcome addition to the area. It can now be best described a a modern city bar. Three hand-pumps serving cask ale are complemented by seventeen numbered 'craft' keg taps behind the bar. A comprehensive beer (inc some cider) list can be found giving details and prices.
There is also a list of spirits with 25 gins to choose from. 25ml measures served as standard. Wine is also available. A modest selection of food is served until 10pm. The main bar area is extended into a more secluded and pleasant windowless back room. A food-lift is employed to bring orders down to the bar.
Toilets are located upstairs, but there is an accessible loo on the ground floor. A small number of tables and chairs are provided outside.

About the pub:
A near-perfect traditional pub, fine collection of real ales, friendly dog, real fire. Landlord happy to discuss choice of beers.
This Free house is tucked away just off the A305 Sheen Rd or the Lower Richmond Road via Sheendale Road and railway bridge. Originally built as a coach house back in 1865 as part of the Church Estates. It was refurbished in November 2015. Simply furnished with wood flooring, there is an outside decked area at the front and a patio garden at the back. The pub has a number of leaded stained-glass windows featuring different colourful church mitres. Smart refurbished toilets installed in 2016. The bar now sports 14 hand-pumps serving beers on constant rotation all from small independent brewers outside the M25. Three dedicated to cider/perry. Real cider not always available, expect Lilley's Cider at times. There are also three 'craft' keg lines installed on the bar with beers from the likes of Jaipur IPA, Wiper & True PA and Guinness (at normal temp), plus a lager. Log fire lit during colder months.
Authentic Neapolitan style Pizzas available to eat in or take away Wednesday to Sunday. Toasted sandwich made with fresh pizza dough also available.
Home to Rudi, was officially the cutest pub dog in Britain in a book published in 2017.
