Barnes Green serves as the focal point of Barnes village, centered around a picturesque pond connected to Barnes Common via a footbridge across Beverley Brook. The park has been designated as one of Richmond's Friendly Parks for All, offering accessible waymarked paths around the pond and comprehensive accessibility features for visitors of all abilities.

Beautiful quaint ‘village’ of London. Due to it’s geographical position not many come here, but certainly worth a visit. There is not a month where you can’t find a flower blossoming…or a friendly cat to pet…or be stared at! There is a wide range of independent cafes and restaurants to choose from to satisfy your pallet.

In the Springtime little flowers start to bloom. Lots of space to let the children run and still be able to see them. Lovely little coffee shops and a relaxing restaurant are all right here.

Quite simply one of my favourite places in the world. The pond life is miraculous with a whole range or regulars and visitors including Mandarin Ducks. Plenty of benches and there is obvious care for the pond from the locals. Often there are ducklings or swanlets to be seen and there is plenty of space for people and dogs to enjoy the surrounds of the park. Just adore it.
