Richmond Park | London Gems

Richmond Park is one of my favourite places in London. I have spent a lot of time there. Anyone who thinks that London is just a concrete jungle has to spend some time in this fantastic Royal Park. Beautiful and green, it is a real London Gem in South-West London. It is easy to get to and is vast with lots of wildlife; Squirrels, deer, rabbits, owls…it is the perfect green getaway for stressed-out Londoners and tourists alike.

Every year millions of Londoners and tourists visit Richmond Park, the largest of the capital’s eight Royal Parks and the biggest enclosed space in London. It is London’s largest Site of Special Scientific Interest, a National Nature Reserve and a Special Area of Conservation. It is home to the beautiful Isabella Plantation, Pembroke Lodge and herds of Red and Fallow deer.

 

Perfect for; walks, picnics, weddings (at Pembroke Lodge), fresh air, get-togethers, wildlife watching, exercise, cycling and getting in touch with nature. children: has two playgrounds. Conveniently has six car parks and a cafe. A must see.
