Which transmitter Richmond points at
Richmond's Freeview comes from Crystal Palace, eight miles east. Reception is excellent on the higher ground around Richmond Hill and Petersham, more variable in the lower-lying streets around the river and the Old Deer Park. A Group A aerial on a chimney or gable handles most roofs; in tree-shaded streets behind the Green or under the canopy of Richmond Park's perimeter we move to a higher mast or log-periodic. Crystal Palace is the only sensible transmitter for the whole patch.
