It is the most delicious Danish bakery. Thoroughly recommend the potato and rosemary Focaccia and rye bread with avocado and prawns. The 65 bus from Ham Parade to Richmond stops almost right outside.

A great fruit & vegetable market surrounded by typically English architecture including The statue, by English sculptor Francis Bird, which has been standing on the balcony of the quirky Italian styled old town hall (Market House) since 1840. Great shops such as The White Company, Jo Malone etc

Kew Gardens is a must see for any garden lovers, botanists, scientists, nature lovers. An excellent day out. The Hive is a must see. Using both cards it is possible to get 4 people in. Children under 4 go free. Best to get there for opening at 10am as parking directly outside the Victoria gate is FREE from 10am so fills up quick. Alternatively the 65 bus goes there from Ham Parade but it takes 40-45 minutes.
