Local area

Richmond’s Thames towpath is one of the great pleasures of life in this part of London — a route walked and cycled by locals in every season, connecting the town to Petersham Meadows and beyond. Stein’s sits naturally within this landscape, bringing a touch of Bavarian warmth to the riverbank. In a borough where independent businesses are genuinely valued and where the river forms a central part of local identity, a restaurant rooted so literally in the waterside environment feels entirely at home — a place that has become part of the rhythm of Richmond life.
