The protected bend in the river. Keep dusk here or on a city high point, not both. Next is Richmond Park — do not also stack the Shard the same day.
Analysis
One dusk viewpoint: Richmond Hill. The view is there all day. Last entry is before the door closes. High decks shut in high wind. Go down to Richmond, and do not buy a second deck.
Best time
Before sunset
How to go
About 15 min uphill from Richmond station
Transit
The way out of Richmond Hill is often not the entrance you used. Find Richmond before you go down, and keep one train in hand.
Season window
Sunset is late in summer at Richmond Hill and around four in winter. Rain and fog hide the river — stay at ground level.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 25 minutes.
- · The hill is steep; take the bus if knees complain
- · Glass at Richmond Hill reflects. The half-hour before sunset is the stable window. Tripods are usually refused.
