Cross one of England's finest village greens, framed by Georgian townhouses and the old Palace gatehouse itself.

Richmond and the riverside are packed with pubs made for a long lunch and a pint with a view. Venture a little further to Twickenham and there's something for everyone, all of it a lot closer than you'd think when you're on a bike.

Perfect for gravel, tarmac and road. Sit upright, take it all in. Wide tyres and a relaxed riding position handle Richmond's gravel paths and riverside trails without asking anything of you: just pedal, look around, and stop whenever something catches your eye.

Originally from South Africa, I've called Richmond home for the past three years. I ride my own gravel bike every week, and Stag Cycles is my way of giving visitors the same escape I get every time I clip in: the park, the river, the pubs, all the parts of Richmond that make it feel like the best-kept secret in London.
@haydi_babesThe bikes were waiting for us the moment we stepped off the train. The picnic route was the highlight of our whole London trip.
Felt like being shown around by a local friend. The pub itinerary alone is worth the booking.
Haydn was able to provide a child's chair and helmet for my two year old, which was lovely. We'll be back next summer.
Haydn was very communicative via WhatsApp which made it very easy for us to confirm everything. All his Itinerary's were AMAZING!
Having a cooler box and picnic blanket was a gamechanger as we could find a shady area next to the river and soak it up. Such value.
You don't. We hand deliver them to you right outside Richmond Station at your chosen pick-up time, and collect them from the same spot when you're done. New to the area? Here's how to get to Richmond from central London.
