Stein's

Richmond, Kew & Hampton Court


On sunny Richmond days, this popular riverside biergarten not far from Richmond Bridge is a natural choice for sampling the lazy Thames-side vibe as well as affordable würstchen (small sausages), other Bavarian specialities and a stein or two of chilled weissbier (white beer). The setting is choice, and overloaded parents can raise a thumb to the small playground for under-fours at the back.
