From the team behind Gold - a beloved, leafy neighbourhood restaurant on Portobello Road - comes Tower House. It’s an all-day riverside bar and restaurant, specialising in Mediterranean cuisine, with a seasonal, produce-led approach.
Situated within a grand 19th-century clock tower, Tower House occupies a prime location in the heart of Richmond. Inside, the venue houses vintage objects and heirloom collectables; a nod to the building’s interesting history, having once been a private residence inspired by Osbourne House - Queen Victoria's former hideaway. The glass-walled dining room is adorned with candles and wicker chairs, offering a cosy, romantic feel. A central open kitchen invites guests to watch the chefs at work, while a separate bar area is designated for drinkers.
Meanwhile, the garden terrace boasts views over Richmond and Twickenham, with waterside scenery of the Thames well-suited to summertime drinks and cosy catch-ups. Decorated with stylish touches, the vast open space is sprawling with green foliage and soft seating nooks. Paired with attentive service, the outdoor area has a welcoming atmosphere that’s worth settling into.
Head chef Theo Hill brings his culinary vision over from Gold, following a similar approach - seasonal produce, Mediterranean flavours and live fire cooking. Dishes like chargrilled vegetables, hand-rolled pasta, and seafood use excellent ingredients and gentle open fire techniques that let the quality of the food speak for itself. The whole roasted turbot is a real showstopper and set to become a fan favourite. To drink, expect signature cocktails crafted by skilled mixologists.
With a spacious outdoor terrace, and an intimate indoor dining room, Tower House is perfect for both large gatherings and casual date nights. In a setting that changes with the seasons, the restaurant is set to become a local favourite - whether it’s for a spritz in the sun, or a candlelit dinner in winter.
