A deer park. Not also Hampstead Heath the same day. Next is Richmond Hill — do not also stack Hyde Park the same day.
Analysis
Richmond Park is a walk, not a photo stop. Pedestrians from dawn to dusk; vehicle gates close earlier. Gate hours and lawn hours differ. Be out toward Richmond before dark, and do not use the park as a shortcut into the next district.
Best time
Deer are easier in the morning
How to go
Richmond station, then a bus or the uphill walk
Transit
The park has no ticket gate. The station is Richmond. Leave before the last train, and do not cross the grass after dark.
Season window
Spring is blossom at Richmond Park, summer picnics are crowded, autumn light is the point, winter dusk is early. In rain stay on the paved main path.
Tips
- · Tickets: Free. Plan about 70 minutes.
- · Deer come close; do not feed them
- · Lawns at Richmond Park can close at short notice. Dogs, bikes and picnics follow that day's notice. No large speakers.
