Richmond Park

Historic parkland, ancient woodland, and open landscapes in south-west London

Richmond Park is the largest of London's Royal Parks, covering more than 2,500 acres of grassland, ancient woodland, ponds, and open heathland within Richmond upon Thames. Created as a royal hunting park in the 17th century, it remains one of the capital's most significant landscapes and is home to free-roaming red and fallow deer.

Located in south-west London, Richmond Park connects to a wider network of routes, landscapes, and places including the Thames Path, Richmond, Petersham, and Wimbledon Common. Today, it provides a substantial area of protected green space, linking historic parkland, wildlife habitats, and walking routes within the capital.
