Visitor Information
Whet your whistle with a pint at Richmond's suitably historic White Cross pub. Right on the river, but still in the very centre of town not far from the green, this pretty, early 19th-century inn is built on the site of an old monastery. Elevated up from the pavement in a bid to escape the rising tides, the bar is accessed by a steep flight of steps. In the winter, grab a window seat if you can and snuggle up by the fire. In the summer take your drink outside and sit at a table by the river (if youre there when it gets dark, fairy lights in the trees will guide your path back up the steps to the bar).
