Local area

Petersham Road runs along one of Richmond’s most scenic corridors, threading between the Thames and Richmond Park — two landmarks that define the borough’s character. For residents of Richmond and neighbouring Barnes, Petersham Farm Stables represents something genuinely rare: a working equestrian yard within the fabric of a London suburb, yet opening directly onto the sweeping grassland and ancient woodland of the Park. It sits comfortably within Richmond’s tradition of cherishing its green spaces and the outdoor, community-minded way of life they sustain.

Why choose Petersham Farm Stables
