Good to have you back @TI. On Richmond, we're you thinking of that DT survey of the boroughs (as reported over here: https://westlondonnews.com/local/richmond-upon-thames/richmond-upon-thames-londons-best-borough-2025-by-the-telegraph/), or more generally? In any event, I don't think you can go far wrong if you're next to the Park. Not as pricey as super prime inner West End, but still very classy and established with the ruban fringe feel. On BKG, perhaps check out Regional REIT for a recovery play (one where you get paid a double digit divi for turning up and waiting)
Cheers! Not back, just a one-off while I have some more free time. Maybe in 1-2 years things will get a bit more open and I can back to weekly posting...
Richmond is in virtually all these surveys (/clickbaits! ;) ) from Muddy Stilettos to Time Out to the estate agent ones etc. I love it but it's so expensive and I do think it's travel options have relatively declined versus West London with access to the Elizabeth Line nowadays.
