Sandycombe Road sits just north of Richmond town centre, a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the wider borough.

Independent businesses with genuine community roots are part of what gives Richmond its character, and Funk Training Club, with its neighbourhood feel and loyal membership, sits comfortably within that tradition.
