On the 23rd July, we were finally granted Permanent Planning Consent by Richmond Council continue to operate as a garden centre with cafe. This consent remains conditional upon our ability to demonstrate continued reductions in the number of visitors who travel to us by car.
To this end, we have had no choice but to reduce the number of car parking spaces available in Church Lane. While we appreciate that this may seem unnecessary, we hope that you will understand that we are in a difficult position and simply wish to preserve both the garden centre and cafe.
For those who are unable to travel to us by alternative means; there is very limited parking on Church Lane, the lane way leading from Petersham Road to the nurseries’ gates.
We would seek to reserve these spaces for the less able and for those who travel together in one car (car sharers).
Alternative parking is available in Richmond town centre at Paradise Road Multi- Storey, Waitrose, The Quadrant, Richmond Riverside, Water Lane & Richmond Green.
During weekends parking for Petersham Nurseries’ customers will be available at
The Russell School (less than a 5 minute walk from the Nurseries, see map and directions below).
This initiative is part of Petersham Nurseries` `adopt-a-school` programme, which will help the school develop its gardening and cooking projects.
Parking at The Russell: Saturday & Sunday only ~ 12.00am to 4.30pm
(All cars must be removed from the site at 4.30pm and no access can be given to the grounds after this time).
NB. We have no choice but introduce a small charge of
£3.75 per vehicle. Regular customers will be aware that we have been renting this space from The Russell School for the last two years – unfortunately, due to a lack of funding, the school has had no choice but to significantly increase the hire charge to us. We have kept the price as low as we can and hope that you will continue to use this service. For your convenience, the parking charge will be added to your luncheon bill.
DIRECTIONS FROM THE RUSSELL TO PETERSHAM NURSERIES
- Walk from the car park back up to the entrance on the main Petersham Road

- Walk a quarter of the way down River Lane, looking out for a walled laneway on your right-hand side - sign posted to Ham/ Richmond.
