Our location
How to find us
The Poppy Factory is close to Richmond rail and Tube station, located at the end of the District line with fast train links from London Waterloo. Our visitor centre is a 15-minute walk from Richmond station, or you can catch the 65 bus from outside the station to the Compass Hill stop.
Our entrance is a sharp turn on Petersham Road, opposite a colourful poppy pedestrian crossing, a few hundred yards from Richmond Bridge.
We are unable to offer parking for individual cars or coaches but passengers can be set down by the coach at the entrance to our car park on arrival and collected after their visit.
Pay and display coach and car parking facilities are available at The Old Deer Park, Richmond (TW9 2RA), around 15 minutes’ walk from the factory and accessible from the A316. There are also NCP car parks available in Richmond town centre, around 10 minutes’ walk.
