Local area
Petersham Road runs quietly between Richmond Hill and Ham, with Richmond Park stretching away on one side and the Thames meadows not far on the other. It is one of the most scenically privileged addresses in the borough, and The Dysart makes the most of that setting. Richmond has long supported independent restaurants of genuine quality, and a fine dining establishment of this calibre fits naturally into a community that values craftsmanship, locality and the pleasures of a well-spent afternoon or evening. For residents, it is something of a neighbourhood treasure within easy reach.
