Shopping in Richmond is a great experience and, at Christmas it couldn't get better. You have many well known high street names, designer stores and boutiques as well as a number of galleries and antique shops.
Only 15 minutes by train from central London you walk out onto a bustling main street, the Quadrant, into George Street and Hill Street as you stroll towards the iconic River Thames you find shops in alleyways and on cobbled streets, interesting pubs, wine bars & cafes in which to stop and relax. Brewers Lane, Church Court, Paved Court, and Golden Court are all worth a visit.
Clothes shops include such names as Gap, Top Shop, Coast, Reiss, French Connection Ted Baker and Jack Wills and, of course the concession stores in House of Fraser.
I recommend travelling to Richmond by train but if you wish to drive parking is available:
