Shopping locally benefits the economy and environment
Much of what you'll find in shops across the borough is sourced and crafted locally and only a short distance by foot, cycle or public
transport. Shopping locally is a great way to limit your carbon footprint, improve the air quality in our borough through active travel
and reduce the delivery miles spent ordering goods to your home.
Get online to support local business - help us tell the stories
There are many artisans and entrepreneurs in Richmond upon Thames who rely on local business to keep going and this can extend
online. Many local businesses have websites; simple changes in online shopping habits can make all the difference to the shops on
your high street.
Shopping locally also means enjoying, sharing information and supporting small businesses in your area. Sharing your recent
treasures, finds and favourite local shops on social media using the hashtag #RichmondShopsLocal connects you with other lovers of
local businesses and helps us get the word about these great places out there.
Discover new places you love
Showing your support to local businesses not just around the holidays but throughout the year will transform your community.
Instead of waiting until Small Business Saturday to stop by a local business, make uncovering new favourite spots across our borough
a regular part of your routine!
We hope you find this directory useful and that it will help you discover independent and green businesses all over the borough.
