5 Reasons to Embrace Autumn
Darker nights are returning, the clocks are going back, and the temperature’s dropping… Autumn is here and it’s time to fully embrace the season of morning mists and falling leaves . Richmond is the perfect place for Autumn activities from colourful walks in the park to Halloween celebrations.
We’ve listed our top 5 reasons to love Autumn:
1.) Cosy Evenings
Richmond is full of amazing pubs and restaurants to enjoy a great night out. Whether it’s the cosy warmth of an open fireplace in the snug of the 400-year-old Rose & Crown or the authentic South American ambience of the Buenos Aires Argentine Steakhouse, there’s a host of great places to eat and drink as nights draw in.
2.) Natural Colours
With the leaves on the trees changing to beautiful shades of amber they provide the picture perfect backdrop to an autumnal wander. Whether you’re taking a brisk walk beside the river, strolling across the Green or deer-spotting in Richmond Park there’s loads of leaf-peeping opportunities.
3.) Autumn Wardrobe
What better way to get into Autumn than to update your wardrobe with some new season clothing. Richmond’s the perfect place to enjoy some seasonal retail therapy and buy that new coat or pair of boots you have been lusting after.
4.) Halloween

On the 28th of October, from 11am to 3pm, Whittaker Avenue will be transformed into a whimsical Pumpkin Patch Pop-Up, promising a day filled with spooky fun and cherished memories for visitors of all ages.
