About Richmond Park

Want to escape the city without leaving it? Richmond Park is London’s wildest and most majestic green space.


Covering a massive 2,500 acres, Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks—and it feels like stepping into the countryside. With free-roaming red and fallow deer that have lived here since the 1600s, ancient oak trees, and rolling meadows, it’s a place where nature takes center stage. Whether you're up for a long walk or just want to sit and breathe in the fresh air, this park delivers peace and beauty in every season.


Hikers and cyclists will love the park’s expansive trails and quiet woodland paths, while photographers and romantics shouldn’t miss King Henry’s Mound—a viewpoint that offers a rare, protected sightline all the way to St Paul’s Cathedral on clear days.


With its rich mix of wetlands, grasslands, ancient woodlands, and wildlife, Richmond Park is also a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. You might spot parakeets, kestrels, or even a grazing stag just steps from your picnic blanket.


Whether you’re cycling, horse-riding, strolling, or simply relaxing under the trees, Richmond Park is a wild and wonderful London adventure—not far from the city, but a world away in spirit.

Nature lovers will appreciate the park’s diverse habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and ancient trees. King Henry’s Mound provides panoramic views across the Thames Valley to St Paul’s Cathedral. Whether you're cycling, horse-riding, or simply relaxing under an oak tree, Richmond Park offers a rich and restorative outdoor experience year-round.
