The fastest and nicest way to travel to and from Richmond for the workshop is via the air conditioned Overground Network, which has good connections throughout London. The last trains home after class are:
All workshop days except Sunday: 22.38, 22.58, 23.08.
On Sunday there is a reduced service after 21.30.
Regular trains into town to connect with the tube network run at 22.37, 22.56, 23.09 and 23.26.
The bus between Kingston train station via the workshop venue and Richmond station is number 65, running approximately every 8 minutes. Alight at Sandy Lane, or Petersham Fox and Duck for the workshop.
Last tube train north from Waterloo Station is at approximately 00.40.

Kingston is the best place for general shopping with a huge Sainsbury's on the road towards the town, a Waitrose beside the bridge, many good small shops and an excellent daily market in the square, with veg, high quality meat, fresh artisanal bread and much more. Richmond is slightly nearer and has a smaller Tesco, a large Waitrose, many small shops and cafes and a superb specialist cheese shop... The nearest shops of all are at Ham Parade which has many small independent shops and an excellent wine merchant, and Ham village which has a German bakery, Hansel and Pretzel, with delicious rye bread as well as Backhaus German food shop, which I haven't tried yet but looks great.
