Richmond, London — Now Live on PINtPOINT
PINtPOINT tracked zero venues in Richmond-upon-Thames as recently as this morning. As of this afternoon, fifteen are live with tap lists — a gap filled in a single pass.
Richmond is a curious case for UK beer coverage. It's a craft-heavy corner of London (Tap Tavern alone runs a 20-tap rotating keg wall, Richmond Vault Beer Cellar stocks 100+ bottles, Brewstation opened a brand-new taproom in June 2024), but its postcode ambiguity — TW9/TW10 straddles the Greater London / Surrey psychological boundary — means a lot of "London beer map" coverage skips it. We'd rather not skip it.

What's next for the area
Eight of the fifteen have Untappd venue IDs matched and verified (which means the overnight tap-list scraper will start pulling live beer data tonight). The remaining seven — smaller or more traditional pubs that don't track their taps on Untappd — will surface on the radar as location-only entries until their publicans either start a check-in trail or tell us otherwise.

This is a Note — a short PINtPOINT coverage update, separate from the longer guides and love letters.
