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.

It’s easy to find deer throughout Richmond Park. They don’t seem timid and gather quite confidently near the roads - great photo opportunities!

Best not to visit on weekends if you don't want to be trapped in traffic jams.
