Roehampton Restored

We are sharing proposals to restore the café at Roehampton Gate and the surrounding landscape in Richmond Park.

The current facilities at Roehampton Gate are temporary structures put in place almost 20 years ago after a fire destroyed the original buildings. These facilities do not offer the capacity or modern amenities required to serve park visitors.

Under our proposals, the space will be transformed into an environmentally excellent café at Roehampton Gate, Richmond Park, which is in keeping with the landscape it sits in and is able to cope with increased visitor numbers. We will create a more family-friendly destination, offering a wide range of fresh produce to meet visitor demand and expectation. The park landscape around the café will be improved and enhanced, with a view to increasing biodiversity.

Moreover, our initiative to revitalise the Roehampton Café aligns with our commitment to social responsibility. We aim to enhance the visitor experience by supporting a restored charity model and contributing positively to the local community. Your help at the Roehampton Café directly fuels our efforts to preserve this landmark and support charitable causes. Join us in supporting a worthy cause at the heart of Richmond Park.
