Richmond Town, is a neighbourhood in central Bangalore. It is named after Thomas Richmond, a barrister in the British India government. "He was an Anglo-Indian philanthropist and the president of the All India Anglo-Indian Association.^[2]

A part of the Bangalore Cantonment area, Richmond Town was established during British rule in 1883. During the period, the area mainly consisted of British residents, Anglo-Indians, Muslim traders from Persia, and Parsis. Like Kadamba Nagara, Sri Krishnaraja Wadiyar Nagara and Langford Town, this area was known for its colonial design.^[3]

In recent years, the locality has seen modernization and increase in real estate demand. Important landmarks in Richmond Town include Bangalore Hockey Stadium and Johnson Market.^[4]^[5]
