Ealing native, Lydia Wood, is set to release her new book Locals: An Illustrated Ode to London's Pubs which includes The White Swan by Richmond riverside.

On social media she wrote: "This could be the most idyllic sketching spot I've been in, a country lane down the road from a palace and a stroll from the Thames.

"The wisteria, the cottages, the people - a beautiful day meeting and sketching the @whiteswanrichmond."

Wood's new book is set to release on 21 May and features the Richmond pub as well as a selection of 60 pubs across the capital.

She has previously sketched The White Cross, The Rifleman and other south west London pubs.
