Deer in Richmond Park

Highlight • Forest

Richmond Park is a wild and rural landscape just a stone’s throw from central London. The largest of the city’s Royal Parks, Richmond was created by Charles I in the 17th century as a deer park and you can observe herds to this day.

The park has many ancient trees and is home to a number of species of fungi, birds, beetles, bats, grasses, and wildflowers. Richmond Park has many buildings of architectural or historic interest, including the Grade I-listed White Lodge which was formerly a royal residence and is now the Royal Ballet School.

Highlight • Trail

Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks at 2,360 acres (955 hectares) in size. Historically the hunting grounds, or the reserve of the monarch, the park is now open to the public and is now a marvellous recreation area complete with deer and a wide range of wild birds.

Roehampton Gate Café

Highlight • Rest Area

A decent cafe to stop at either while walking around the park or for a bike cafe stop. The coffee is good, and they have a good selection of biscuits and cakes and light cafe food (and beer if you like!). It is a little pricey, but that’s to be expected because of its location.
