Guidebook for London
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.

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!!

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.
