----------------------------------------
Richmond is the principal district inside the massive London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames along with the areas of Kew, Twickenham and Hampton to name a few.
The view we are looking at are the meadows and riverbanks of Petersham, a village on the eastern end of the district and Ham Lands, a nature reserve in the Ham area which crosses over into Richmond.
This district is as large as most inner London boroughs and more than 75% of it is Richmond Park wrapped inside an 8 mile, Grade II listed wall. It's 7 times bigger than Hyde Park, 32 times bigger than Greenwich Park and Green Park can fit inside it 60 times. At 2,300 acres, it is by far the largest of all the Royal parks. About 650 red and fallow deer roam around in there freely with the public and they shape the way the park looks.
Richmond upon Thames is the only borough in Greater London stretching across both sides of our meandering river situated 8 miles away from Charing Cross in transport zone 4.
Until 1501, Richmond was known as Shene. The last two letters were later swapped around to read s-h-e-e-n. Henry VIII's dad, the last English king to win his throne on the field of battle, renamed the place Richmond. The word is adapted from old French Richmont which is simply rich or splendid together with mont which means hill.
So, we're here in Richmond to enjoy this gorgeous day, by the river, fantastic foodie market. We're drinking Rose by Conte Leopardi; our wines are naturally made, just gorgeous drinking. No sugars added on a sunny day out in Richmond close by the Thames.
Richmond is a place that pays homage to its becoming. It includes a free museum which showcases its history and produces the remembrance poppies sold each November for Remembrance Day.
The atmosphere in Richmond is perfectly suited to its infrastructural make-up. On a nice day, the riverside quickly becomes full of people partaking in the beautiful setting by the river. If you plan to see all Richmond has to offer, I would advise renting a bike, a row boat or taking a cruise up and down it.
This place has a reputation for being well looked after and visually pretty. It is also officially the London district with the lowest amount of poverty and has very low-crimes rates. It's no secret that Richmond is the district of choice for several of our most renowned international actors, musicians and athletes. The list is long but you may find the likes of Angelina Jolie, Tom Hardy, Jane Horrocks, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger and ahem Rick Astley walking past you.
This is the church of St Mary Magdalene, the sinner who Jesus reformed by casting 7 demons out of her. After she told her mates what he did, they also became his followers.
Richmond Theatre opened in 1899 beside Little Green with a performance of 'As You Like It'.
At the heart of the town sits Richmond Green which is almost square open grassland. The locals tell me this is the real treasure of Richmond. They go there to chill out on summer weekends and public holidays. It was traditionally used for archery since the 16th century but is now much better known as one of the places cricket matches began in England. The 92-year-old celebrated broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough actively lives in a house circling this green and describes Richmond as his ''favourite place by a long way''.
Gelateria Danieli was birthed in Richmond making authentic gelato more readily available in the UK. Richmond Bridge is 243 years old, the oldest surviving bridge over the River Thames. Ham house here is the most completely in tact one across Europe from 1610.

Richmond upon Thames in south-west London, England, forms part of Outer London and is the only London borough on both sides of the River Thames. Richmond upon Thames was created in 1965 when three smaller council areas amalgamated under the London Government Act 1963. It is governed by Richmond upon Thames London Borough Council.
Richmond upon Thames is home to the National Physical Laboratory and the attractions of Kew Gardens, Hampton Court Palace, Twickenham Stadium and the WWT London Wetlands Centre that draw domestic and international tourism. Parks take up a great deal of the Richmond upon Thames and include Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Kew Gardens, and Hampton Court Park. There are over 100 parks and open spaces within its boundary and 21 miles (34 km) of river frontage. 140 hectares within the borough are designated as part of the Metropolitan Green Belt.
Richmond upon Thames is home to the National Physical Laboratory and the attractions of Hampton Court Palace, Twickenham Stadium and the WWT London Wetlands Centre that draw domestic and international tourism. The river Thames becomes narrower than at any part of Inner London towards its flow into the borough and becomes non-tidal at Teddington Lock in the borough; its main axis runs south to north, rather than west to east through more than half of the Richmond upon Thames .
Richmond upon Thames is served by many Transport for London bus routes. Richmond upon Thames is connected to central London and Reading by the National Rail services of South West Trains. The London Underground's District line serves Richmond and Kew Gardens stations: both are also served by London Overground trains on the North London Line. The other stations are: Barnes; Barnes Bridge; Fulwell; Hampton; Hampton Wick; Mortlake; North Sheen; St Margarets; Strawberry Hill; Teddington; Twickenham and Whitton.
The Twickenham Museum is a volunteer-run museum opposite St Mary's parish church. The Museum of Richmond, in Richmond's Old Town Hall, close to Richmond Bridge, has displays relating to the history of Richmond, Ham, Petersham and Kew. Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham displays material from the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames' art collection. Garrick's Temple to Shakespeare in Hampton hosts a free Sunday afternoon Shakespeare exhibition from April to October and a series of summer drama, music and exhibitions.
Richmond has two theatres. The Richmond Theatre at the side of Little Green is a Victorian structure designed by Frank Matcham and restored and extended by Carl Toms in 1990. The theatre has a weekly schedule of plays and musicals, usually given by professional touring companies, and pre-West End shows can sometimes be seen. There is a Christmas and New Year pantomime tradition and many of Britain's greatest music hall and pantomime performers have appeared here. Close to Richmond railway station is the Orange Tree Theatre which was founded in 1971 in a room above the Orange Tree pub. The Cabbage Patch pub on London Road near Twickenham railway station has, since 1983, been a regular venue for live music on Sunday nights, organised by TwickFolk.

Richmond Park London England
I went for a walk across Richmond Park in London, England, the other day (May, 2017). I say I walked 'across' Richmond Park rather than 'around' it, as it is one of London's largest, at 2500 acres (1000 hectares). It boasts a herd of 650 deer, descendants of those hunted by King Henry VIII. It is a Nature reserve as well as a park, and a fine place for a day out!
ABOUT ALPHATUCANA
We are fundamentally alone in this vast and mysterious Universe, but we don't want to be. In the struggle to survive, to 'succeed', or to just get by, we sometimes forget the bigger picture, and we sometimes forget to just relax for a while and remember what an amazing world this is. There is plenty to look at: science, Nature, society... And there are plenty of games to help us get away from it all, since as humans we have a built-in need to play as well as to explore... So on this channel, I vlog about science, Nature, current affairs and much else besides, I upload sightseeing videos showing London, England, or my holidays elsewhere, and I upload gameplay videos. So why not join in for a while and see what you think?
POSTING SCHEDULE
This depends in part on whether I have had time to record videos in between going to work and living the rest of my life! Usually it runs like this:
- Sat or Sun: a vlog or sightseeing video at midday (UK time).
- Gameplay videos: pretty random - typically at midday on weekdays, but not all the time.
- If I have something extra to post it usually appears at some random time :) I may livestream occasionally too.
