This is also the view from one of Richmond's most historic pubs, The Roebuck.
Get to the pub early, sit in the window, and the view, while you sup a pint of London Pride or one of the three guest beers, is priceless.
Alternatively, on a fine day, take your beer onto the terrace to enjoy the panorama in its full splendour. The painting copied above is by JMW Turner, a resident of Twickenham, painted in 1815; the ones below are my own take on such a delightful setting.

Noticed you take a sip from the pint before photographing it. Good to see you have your priorities right!
Still looks like lager...

I can't remember the beer exactly but I can be sure in saying it was not lager :-) Steve
Nice pic!
Good picture and nice to see such a landscape getting protected status. Will Real Ale, a major part of British Heritage be afforded the same courtesy? Maybe we will see your picture with the ale in the National Gallery one day!!!
Nice snap..I drink lighter Pilsner beer in the spring summer and dark in the fall and winter. My favorite summer beer is Straub thanks for sharing this article I love your site will recommend my friends.

One can get bored with the same view after a while...
Apologies LMG, I have been busy working on a new writing project and have been out of town for a few days too visitng student-boy. Normal service resumed soon...
