🇬🇧 ​​London's Best Kayaking Spot: Richmond Adventure!​​ 🚣‍♀️

After visiting ​​Ham House​​ last Sunday, I stumbled upon a ​​hidden gem​​ along the river—dozens of people gliding on ​​kayaks, SUPs, and even dragon boats​​! The scene was so inviting, I tracked down the rental spot (📍 see pics for location). 🌟 ​​How to Rent:​​ ​​Single kayak:​​ £42.50 | ​​Tandem kayak:​​ £85 (same price for 1-2 people—I chose this for my first time!) ⏳ ​​2.5-hour slots​​ (+15min grace period) Staff guide you through: 1️⃣ Life jacket fitting 2️⃣ River route (5km of scenic bliss!) 3️⃣ Paddling basics 4️⃣ Waterproof bag for belongings 5️⃣ Safety waiver 6️⃣ Launch assistance 💖 ​​Why It’s Magic:​​ ​​Mini beaches​​ along the route to pause & float ​​Ducks, dogs splashing, and smiling paddlers​​—pure serotonin!
