    Great for cyclist, runners and walkers. Gets really busy at the weekends in the summer but it’s sill worth the trip. Parking is free but very busy close to the cafes. Lots of deer too!

    On a clear day, you can get an amazing view of London's skyline at the top of Sawyer's Hill, near to the Richmond Gate entrance.

    Crowded, but the park itself is huge so You can take paths of the busy park entrance. There re beautiful gardens and settings painters & photographers must ppreciate. Moving among wild deer was my 🔝

    Stunning parkland - worth a visit at any time of year to observe the changing of the seasons. The deer roam free. Great views toward central London (check out King Henry's Mound).

    Great for walking! Beautiful scenery and deer. Cyclists terrify me though ‘cause most do not have a bell to warn you and they travel at great speeds in BOTH directions, it’s hard to relax

    Gorgeous place for a walk amongst the deer. Beware the hundreds of runners and cyclists in Lycra - all the artificial material slightly detracts from the country vibe.

    Please be careful if you're here to observe the deer! (Sept-Oct is rutting seasons, males can be hormonal and aggressive.) Never touch the babies! Keep dogs on a leash.

    There's so much space! Feels rural. There are deer. Grassy areas, woods, lakes, hidden stately homes, great cafés. Good for walking, cycling, playing or picnicking. Beware the dog/deer combination.

    The largest Royal Park in London covering 2,500 acres. Besides its beauty there's plenty to do including horse riding, power kiting, cycling, fishing and golf. Plan your day and go have some fun!

    Best park in London and, most importantly, not overrun by tourists! And it's only a 20m ride by DLR from Waterloo station in central London to Richmond. Only drawback - overflying ✈️ from Heathrow🙅🏻

    If you're a weekend leisure walker, get in early to avoid the cycling running crowds for the carpark. Whilst there's works going on, maybe park further into the park

    Beautiful park with free-roaming deer - they usually are in the middle of the park near the lake. You can hire bicycles from http://www.parkcycle.co.uk/ located in the Roehampton Gate Car Park.

    Check out the St.Pauls cathedral hidden view from Richmond Park! Find the bush with a gap that has a marker with St.Pauls written on it (Easily missed!). Not far from the Star & Garter entrance.

    Look for wild deer, there are so many the authoritys have to cull them annually. Head down to Pembroke Lodge and walk around the magnificent gardens, climb up Henry VIII mound for a fantastic view.

    13 October: Watch the deer rut. Autumn marks the annual deer rut in the Park, home to around 300 red deer & 350 fallow deer. The huge red stags & fallow bucks roar, bark & clash antlers.
