The clatter of a London bus drifts over the garden wall, but you're tucked into a camping pod in Richmond, close enough to the city to arrive car-free, far enough out to sleep under something resembling stars.

This one suits curious urban campers and couples who want a proper bed after a day exploring the capital — the guest house offers indoor rooms if the weather turns, and the pods give you that canvas-and-timber feeling without the full camping commitment. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so you can bring the family terrier along for riverside walks. Richmond's deer park and the Thames Path are the real draw here, though Syon Park's lakes are a short pedal away if you fancy an hour with a rod.

You're essentially glamping in zone 4, with hot showers, year-round opening, and the option to ask about campfires on arrival. It's a quirky hybrid — part pub garden, part micro-campsite — that works brilliantly if you want greenery, good transport links, and a pint within walking distance.
