I've just moved into Richmond and I highly recommend it to anyone moving from interstate. I moved from Sydney not long ago and Richmond really does seem to have a lot going for it. Shopping is great with Bridge Rd and Victoria Gardens shopping center, and th...

Best Vietnamese Food

Victoria Street, Richmond, Victoria, Australia

Victoria Street has the best and most prolific range of Vietnamese restaurants, heading out of the city on the far side of Punt Road there is plenty of places to eat along a stretch of about two or three streets/blocks. It's hard to find parking and can be a b...

Food, Fashion, Fun

Bridge Road, Richmond, Victoria, Australia

Bridge Rd Richmond is the best place in town to grab a bite to eat and go shopping on a Saturday afternoon. Don't drive, take the tram (number 48 goes right along there) or the train to Richmond station and spend an afternoon browsing the racks in some unique ...

Has it all, especially location

Richmond, Victoria, Australia

4.5/5
How to describe Richmond...business district? eating district? crime district? I think a little of everything to be honest.

Bridge Road, Swan Street and Victoria Street are the main shopping\restaurant areas of Richmond, all of which are wonderful. Brid...

I pretty much only go to Swan Street for a couple of reasons. The Corner Hotel, which is a small music venue that can gets some pretty big acts, and Rod Laver Arena which is not only a great place for stadium concerts but is the host of the Australian Tennis O...

Oh man, if you love shopping Bridge Road is definitely for you! Make sure your wallet is full and your shoes are comfy because you could easily spend a whole day walking up and down this street of stores and just as easily spend a small fortune. The stores are...

Very odd name, ok location but that's about it.

Botherambo Street, Richmond, Victoria, Australia

Odd name to be sure and it's not doing the street any favors. Factories line it, as does graffiti! Ok location being in the heart of Richmond, but I personally would avoid this one.

Lennox Street, Richmond, Victoria, Australia
By goku on May 07, 2008

Perfect for young couples and single people, Lennox Street is fantastic. Location is so hard to beat, as you are right near Bridge Road, Swan Street and Chapel Street...all the major retail streets in the area.

My local drinking place is the London Terrace...
