Local area
Church Street is one of Twickenham’s most characterful thoroughfares, close to the river and within easy reach of the town centre’s independent shops and cafés. Sumac sits comfortably within this convivial, community-minded neighbourhood, offering something genuinely distinctive in a borough — Richmond upon Thames — that has no shortage of places to eat. Persian cuisine remains relatively rare in this part of southwest London, which makes Sumac a welcome addition for residents who enjoy exploring food from beyond the familiar Mediterranean and British repertoire.
