About Grounded
Grounded is an independent coffee shop situated on Crown Road in the St Margarets neighbourhood of Twickenham, serving the local community from early morning through to the afternoon, seven days a week. Known for its carefully prepared coffee, a considered selection of teas, and homemade cakes, it offers both takeaway and a relaxed sit-down experience, with outdoor seating available. The atmosphere is friendly and unhurried, making it equally suitable for a quick weekday coffee before the commute or a leisurely weekend catch-up with neighbours and friends.
Local area
St Margarets sits quietly between Twickenham and Richmond, with Crown Road at its heart — a residential street with a genuine village feel. Grounded fits naturally into this pocket of the borough, the kind of neighbourhood spot where familiar faces accumulate over time. Twickenham itself has long supported a strong culture of independent cafés and local businesses, and Grounded reflects that character well. For residents who value a proper local rather than a chain, and who appreciate the unhurried pace that defines this part of south-west London, it offers exactly the right kind of place.
Why choose Grounded
Grounded earns its loyal following through consistency — the coffee is well made, the cakes are homemade, and the staff are noted for being genuinely welcoming rather than merely efficient. Opening at 7:30 on weekdays means it catches the morning rush without sacrificing atmosphere, while the Sunday hours suit a slower start to the week. With outdoor seating for finer days and a cosy interior for the rest, it adapts to the season. For residents of St Margarets and the surrounding streets, it is simply a reliable and pleasant place to be.

The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors
The last tomatoes in Richmond gardens are coming indoors now, bundled in newspaper or lined up on kitchen windowsills. The green ones will never see another warm day outdoors. But they will ripen. Slowly, reluctantly, they turn from hard jade to blushing orange to full, soft red. You pick them before the first frost. That […]
