Fox and Grapes

Richmond, Kew & Hampton Court


This popular gastropub sees the rambling Wimbledon set decamping with mud-flecked canines in tow. The location is lovely and the three modern rooms-with-shower upstairs – each one named after a Womble – can cast a roof over your head if you take to Wimbledon’s semirural charms. Rooms include Nespresso machines, with continental breakfast included.
