About Tide Tables Cafe
Tide Tables Cafe sits beneath Richmond Bridge, in converted arches facing the river, with a plant-based menu built on organic, fairtrade ingredients. The kitchen serves a vegetarian and vegan range including samosas, a Greek salad, and coffee cake, alongside pastries and croissants. Cappuccino and other coffee drinks come from the counter. Seating runs both inside the arches and outside, with riverside views from the tables. The cafe is walk-in, with orders taken at the counter rather than by reservation. Restroom access is code-locked, and staff can provide the door code when needed.

“I have stopped here several times for coffee, and for me the real attraction has always been the setting rather than the menu. Tucked beneath Richmond Bridge and facing the river, it is one of those places where a simple coffee can easily …”

“I visited this location a few times while in Richmond. It's very cozy and the staff are very nice. You can dine inside or outside at the many tables. The toilets are clean, just ask the staff for the code for the door. One of the best cups of coffee I had while in the UK.”
