Here's a shameless plug for my neck of the woods: Richmond,
Surrey. :-) I'd definitely recommend visiting this part of southwest
London if you've never been here before. We've got the river, Kew
Gardens, Richmond Park, Richmond Theatre, some very nice restaurants,
and a fantastic view from Richmond Hill! (Also within the borough is
the London Wetlands Centre in Barnes.) It's fairly easy to get to
Richmond from Central London, and I'd suggest a day's outing,
especially if you'll be in London in the summer.
