Triple Crown, Richmond

Built in 1884 by Meux's Brewery Co Ltd (later Friary Meux) as the Tulip Tree (see plaque on the façade on the upper part of frontage) in a narrow street opposite Richmond Athletic Ground.

The pub closed in 2020 and the freehold bought in 2022. A planning application (23/1743/FUL) for the retention of existing pub with internal reconfiguration was submitted and accepted by Richmond Council in April 2024. The proposal is to update, remodel and modernize the bar/restaurant area and supporting servicing areas with the provision of a new kitchen, upgraded back of house areas, staff welfare facilities and storage at basement level. New male and female toilets are provided at basement level with a new accessible toilet at ground floor level. The design and building work will add sufficient kitchen space/facilities to bring the building into the 21st century and provide a comfortable gastro pub experience. Building and refurbishing work is still ongoing. The pub's name when it reopens may well revert to The Tulip Tree.
