Orange Tree

Close to the Station, this is one of the best known Richmond pub, especially as shuttle buses to Twickenham rugby stadium go from behind the pub. The building dates from at least 1780 but was rebuilt around 1897 in the distinctive brick and terracotta style popular at the time. It achieved fame by being the home of the Orange Tree Theatre company who then used the upstairs function room. The Theatre moved in 1990 to a former school across the road. The pub recently been refurbished in a contemporary style. The large bar at ground level is complemented by a basement bar and heated outdoor drinking area. Good food is served all day; the dining area has a hanging indoor garden under the skylights. Twitter: @OTPub Facebook: /OTPub.
