Picturesque riverside gardens on the west bank of the Thames with a playground, cafe, accessible toilets, and direct walking access to Marble Hill House and Orleans House.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families wanting a relaxed riverside outing that combines playground time with a longer walk. The link to Marble Hill makes it a natural anchor for a half-day route along the Thames. Quieter than central Richmond - better suited to families who prefer a calmer pace over a full activity-packed day.

“A nice little park for kids of all ages. Wonderful views of Richmond across the river. With a route that leads straight to Marble Hill via the river, it's a great spot for kids to play. However, the café's personnel was kind and the service was excellent. Additionally, the disabled community has complete access to a unisex restroom.”

Overview
Cambridge Gardens sits on the Thames opposite Richmond, offering open views across the river. The playground suits children of all ages and the cafe - named the Magnolia Cafe - has indoor and outdoor seating. Accessible unisex toilets are on site. A riverside path leads directly to Marble Hill House and Orleans House, extending the visit significantly. The magnolia trees along the cafe frontage are a seasonal highlight in late winter and early spring.
