This cozy place is a gem, and it fit my needs perfectly for a solo evening visit to the Christmas Light Show at Kew. (It was an easy walk to Kew and back...only about 5 minutes.) Upon arrival, I was treated to a delightful pot of tea and a Maids of Honour tart by the cheerful property manager. I had not eaten dinner, so, I was given a slice of beef pie and a small salad to boot, even though the Tea Room/Bakery was close to closing. If you are looking for an authentic, local experience while visiting Richmond/London, this is your place!
