Richmond Park

One of London's Royal Parks, Richmond Park is situated on the outskirts of central London, in zone 4. It is easily accessible by the London Underground, via the district line, and then a short walk is needed. It is probably worth noting that the walk is predominantly uphill, so may not be suitable for certain people. A map could be obtained before your trip on the internet, or upon arrival in the town centre at Tourist Information. I personally enjoy Richmond Park a great deal out of all of the London Parks. Not only is it situated in a town which is quite different to others in London, the walk up to it has breathtaking views which is a great excuse to stop ...  Read the complete review

Richmond Park is one of the loveliest parks in London - ancient trees with herds of deer roaming in between them, mist hanging over the lakes, picnicking on a hill whilst looking over the whole of London to St Paul's Cathedral - what more could you want? In the middle of the suburbs, Richmond Park is hidden away by eight miles of ancient brick walls, criss-crossed by small roads and the source of endless pleasure to hundreds of people. I grew up right next to the park, and spent most of my childhood and adolescence there, from sponsored walks, to cycle rides, to romantic picnics; it was one of those places where it always seemed to be ...  Read the complete review

Richmond Park is one of the better parks in London - based on the A3 in zone 3 I drove there but you can get the tube. I would reccomed doing this as parking was a nightmare - space for about 100 cars - luckily it wasnt charging as everyone was too angry it was so busy! Definatley get there before 11am if you want to drive. On site are some poor toilets and two small overpriced cafes - "so far not great" we thought! However, once parked we could either rent bikes at a cheap price or go for a long walk - the park is simply huge and beautiful, especially with the masses of deer and other birds everywhere. There are open grassed areas suitable for children, and ...  Read the complete review

Richmond Park-The true heaven I always wanted to go to this place but never got time all throughout last year.Last week I did get an opportunity and really cashed in. This is the largest royal park in London and a perfect place to enjoy summer.It is hard to beleive that this park is in a bustling city.

Richmond Park (020 8876 3205) is actually two courses with one set of facilities. Which one you play appears to be at the whim of the stroppy staff, but at £18 for 18 holes in an expensive area of London they are pretty good value. The courses tend to be very busy, especially at weekends, when waiting can be up to an hour (there is no booking). And bring cash if you want to avoid paying for four rounds on one debit card. The fairways in Summer are fairly short, the greens well kept. Par threes are short, par fours long and straight, and par fives rare. A lack of established trees and a tendency for the fairways to run parallel to each other make it a samey ...  Read the complete review
