Richmond on the Thames

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’ve been to many places

I’ve often lived abroad

But if I could choose

a special place

I’d live on Richmond Hill.

---

Property‘s expensive

Which makes it just a dream

But I have lived quite near to here

And know it very well.

---

Richmond can be stunning

It’s got some splendid views.

Yet it’s near to London

And all you can find there.

---

If you’ve seen Ted Lasso

Perhaps you’ll know the place?

It’s really nice on Richmond Green

Where you can take a stroll.

---

Or walk along the river

For yet more pleasant views

Or head back to the High Street

Where there are decent shops.

If you tire of townscape

Then head for Richmond Park

It’s eight miles round

Green rolling hills

And herds of roaming deer.

---

Just across the river

If you‘re into sport

The national rugby stadium

And Harlequins as well.

Harlequins my favourite team

I’d love to be near them

And all the pubs and restaurants

We’d have to visit them.

---

If you like to travel

Heathrow’s not too far

Be on a plane to anywhere

I couldn’t ask for more.

---

‘Where London meets the Countryside’

Is how they bill themselves.

I couldn’t ask for too much more

A splendid place to live.
