Fuller’s Griffin Brewery

Richmond, Kew & Hampton Court


If you’re a beer fiend, hop (excuse the pun) on a tour to see it being brewed up and join in a good-old tasting session (over-18s only). Informative one-hour guided tours of the brewery depart regularly on weekdays and are followed by 30-minute tutored tastes. Book in advance online; over-16s can take a nontasting tour.
