Live near here. Beautiful area, lovely to hang out in any time of the year. Just a short walk away from Richmond Park, Sheen Mount Primary, RPA, so perfect for spending time with friends after school. Also great for picnics.

Fantastic woods to take dogs for off the leash walks, and kids so soak up fresh air. There are a couple of big(ish) fields ideal for football, picnics, etc. At the top end of the woods there is a door into Richmond park.

I love to ride my bike through the trees, the only thing that ruins it is dog walkers letting there dogs loose, they should just be allowed to go on the main paths. It's hard to find good fast mountain biking in this area.

This is a lovely walk out of Richmond Park up to East Sheen. Really beautiful wood land and a lot of birds and nature, but the main path is quite secluded, but used by dog walkers and other ramblers. The main path runs parallel to East Sheen Cemetery and makes for a lovely walk when you come out of Richmond Park. Good exercise and lovely surroundings.
