Near the job centre on a main road, so parking is not great, however around the corner is a multi story. Staff are friendly and most know their stuff and they is a nice warm atmosphere when you enter. They take your name and find you an advisor. They also have lots of information leaflets and computers that can be used for C.V's and Job Hunting. No Limits now has Connexions advisor based within it so there is even more information if you need. Definitely the place to go if you need help.

Said to contain the largest palm tree in Europe, this centrepiece is surrounded by a menagerie of tropical plants and succulents. It's barely a fraction the size of Kew Gardens or the Eden project, but they don't have a prized marble of a reclining Galatea, do they?

Horticultural knowledge - and perhaps even watering - is much needed at this site. I am amazed that they claim the glasshouse is the second largest in England - what is available for the public is a poorly maintained structure where plants are not at the centrepiece, and is worrying to see how little cared for this site is. Can the University not enthuse its many students to volunteer and help to bring this amazing site to its former glory?

And since my partner at the time also wanted to check out the Ted Lasso pub, which happens to be in the same town of Richmond, just on the entire opposite side of the town, we figured we could kill two birds with one stone....or visit two attractions on one train ride. I am not a Bridgerton gal, but apparently some of it was filmed at this castle...I was here because of the Tudor and Stuart connections! It is huge and beautiful and I could have spent 3 more hours here! But also there was a private event being set up for the next day so some of the gardens were off limits unfortunately. The gardens too! GORGEOUS. LOVELY. WONDERFUL. Highly worth getting the audio tour, as well. It was so interesting to hear about the different royals who made residence here and how they each changed the palace. Entry is timed, and I would recommend aiming for earlier in the day if you are really in to the history and seeing it all. Because there is A LOT to see. It helped that the weather was perfect during my visit here since there are gardens to explore and much of the interesting parts of the castle grounds are open to the elements, but it was a highlight of my trip to London no matter what.

It's an architectural masterpiece and given that it's situated next to both the V&A museum and natural history museum, the building needed to make a statement which it does. This is one of the few Catholic Churches in London that offers the mass in Latin and as such is a must stop for any traditionalist. The Latin mass attracts lots of young people and is say its well worth experiencing. Services are offered in English too and the church is also open for private prayer.

Today I went here for a craft fair and even though it was small it was perfectly formed. The hall actually looks like a little church with wooden floors and really gothic looking tall windows without being too echoey and intimidating. A perfect place for a family knees-up if you as me. It's owned by the same guy who has got the pizza place next door so it's totally local run - super cute if you ask me! There are basic catering facilities, loos and tables and chairs to hire. Great for a party!

We had exactly the occasion we wanted, and we cannot recommend Abney Hall more highly as a choice of venue. Thank you.
