Drinks & Nightlife

A country pub in London. Live music and quiz nights. Serves food. Gets very lively when major sporting events (especially rugby) show on the large screen. Cozy in winter with log-effect fire in a snug room but also good in summer as huge beer garden. It's a nice walk away, some of it on an attractive path through woods - great for summer evenings. Or a very short drive.

Pretty village pond in atmospheric Barnes a short bus ride away. Lovely cafes and pubs nearby and a fantastic bakery - Gail's - a stone's throw away. Pick up a delicious home-made baguette and picnic on one of the many benches by the pond. Children will love feeding the ducks and swans.

Fantastic walks and cycle rides along the river Thames in London. Walk from nearby Barnes to Hammersmith where you can stop at one of the lovely pubs on the river. If you want a longer walk, cross over Hammersmith bridge and walk along the other side of the river via Chiswick, returning to Barnes via Barnes railway bridge. A lovely long walk with great views and great pubs for refreshments.

Very pretty nursery gardens in a lovely setting along the river in Richmond. While strolling around the gardens and the nearby meadows and Thames-side path is delightful in itself, the nurseries are now famous for their restaurant and glasshouse cafe. If you want to push the boat out, book for lunch at the very expensive but excellent restaurant where you dine among the beautiful flowers and greenery. Or, for a good-value version, dine in the self-service greenhouses where you can chose from the delicious range of home-cooked dishes for lunch. Or go for morning coffee or afternoon tea. The cakes are out of this world!!

World famous gardens. A lovely day out in beautiful surroundings. Pleasant cafe and restaurant. The tropical glasshouse is fantastic. In summer, outdoor concerts. In winter, an atmospheric skating rink in the grounds.

The Windmill is a beautifully preserved and maintained windmill in the heart of Wimbledon Common. A lovely setting, it is a very pleasant 20 minute stroll away on a path through the Common. There are very restricted opening hours for visiting the tiny museum within the windmill, but it is worth a visit to admire this piece of history in a lovely setting. Cafe next door great for simple refreshments with both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Very child-friendly.

The former residence of Henry V111 - incredible palace and amazing gardens including a maze which children love. Beautifully situated alongside the Thames. An unforgettable day out. The palace is fascinating in terms of history, culture and architecture. A short drive or uber taxi ride away (under 30 minutes if not rush hour) or a 40 minute bus ride away (need to change buses) outside rush hours. Alternatively it is a 45 minute train ride away with trains going from nearby Barnes Station with a change of train at Clapham Junction.

Sightseeing

A beautiful historic town with fantastic architecture and incredible views from the top of the hill where there is a handy pub. Sit outside the pub or in the meadows below the pub and soak in the fantastic views over the river and the gardens below. Lovely walks along the river here too.

Yet another lovely historic house not too far away. Again, a stunning situation along the banks of the Thames. Famous for its butterfly house. There is also a very good indoor/outdoor play area for children - hours will be spent here happily!
