Richmond and Kew Gallery

Richmond and Kew occupy a distinctive position on London’s southwestern edge, where the city meets the Thames in a landscape of parks, riverside villas, and historic gardens. Richmond developed as a royal retreat and later as a prosperous suburban centre, while Kew became renowned for its botanical collections and scientific research. These watercolours reflect the area’s combination of natural setting and architectural character, capturing a district that blends urban history with the enduring presence of the river and its green spaces.
