Richmond Park

Established in the 17th century, Richmond Park stands as the largest of London’s eight Royal Parks, sprawling across the southwest of the capital. This expansive green space is a haven for wildlife, particularly its herd of over 600 red and fallow deer that roam freely through the ancient woodlands. Visitors can explore the park via cycling and running trails, play a round of golf, or enjoy the playground. Two notable gardens, the Isabella Plantation and Pembroke Lodge Gardens, offer tranquil spots for relaxation and a closer look at the park’s diverse flora.
