Award Winning Chocolate Shop 31st March 2007

If you have a sweet tooth (and let's face it, most of us do!), then you will want to pay a visit to William Curley in Richmond. This is a Patissier Chocolatier which is said to rival any in Europe! The shop is located on a small alleyway, between King Street and Richmond Green.

William Curley recently won the award for the best UK Chocolatier 2006. This is a man who is passionate about what he does and he trained in numerous Michelin-starred restaurants before opening the shop.

The smell of chocolate will engulf you when you enter the store. The individual cakes and pastries will make you drool and you will want to sample them all. There is a glass cabinet filled with a large variety of handmade chocolates, including some sinful truffles and an intriguing sea-salt caramel one which tastes pretty good. A hand-picked selection of these chocolates makes a great gift, and the amazing looking cakes will make your dinner-party guests drool.

There are also a few tables if you need to taste some of Curley's amazing creations then and there.
