London Borough of Richmond upon Thames

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames extends across both sides of the River Thames, containing extensive parklands, residential areas, and commercial districts.

The borough formed in 1965 through the merger of three municipal districts: Richmond, Barnes, and parts of Twickenham, becoming part of Greater London.

Richmond Theatre and Orange Tree Theatre present regular performances while the Museum of Richmond exhibits local artifacts in the Old Town Hall.

Residents access municipal services through the My Richmond App, including waste management, parking permits, and maintenance request submissions.

The borough maintains over 100 parks and 21 miles of riverfront, with Richmond Park housing more than 600 red and fallow deer.
