Did you know Richmond upon Thames is home to the Poppy Factory? 

Explore the home of Remembrance in Richmond upon Thames, discover the story of the people behind the poppies.

Established in the aftermath of the First World War, The Poppy Factory quickly developed into a community of wounded and injured veterans and their families.

Today, The Poppy Factory is a national charity that supports veterans with health conditions on their journey into all kinds of employment, helping hundreds of ex-Forces job seekers in England and Wales each year.

Richmond has been home to The Poppy Factory since the 1920s and they still make the Royal and regimental wreaths by hand today.
