RICHMOND-UPON-THAMES, England – In the west London suburb of Richmond-upon-Thames, the herd of deer from the royal park sometimes stops traffic. Georgian houses with column-framed doorways line leafy streets. Rented rowboats drift on the river. Cricket has been played on the green in the centre of town since the 17th century.
In more recent years, tourists and influencers have gathered in a paved area by the green to take photos of some unassuming local attractions: a pub, red phone booths and a bench.
