Love this park, nice pubs in 1 corner, lots of people relaxing. Was about to say feels safe and for teens to hang out but then found out one of the boys from my daughters school got beaten up there by another school which makes me very sad so dropping rating.. Mix of old and modern buildings around the edge, parking usually easy but you may have to drive around the 1 way system. Easy to get from station and near the river.

Really enjoyed spending time here during Richmond Fair. The whole green was full of energy with food stalls, little rides, games and families enjoying the sunshine. The atmosphere felt very lively but still relaxed at the same time. One of the nicest things about Richmond Green is how much is happening around it — people playing cricket on the green, pubs packed with people enjoying drinks outside and such a lovely community feel all around. It’s also surrounded by some famous pubs like The Cricketers and Prince’s Head, which makes the whole area even more enjoyable. Perfect place to walk around, grab some food or drinks and just enjoy a sunny day.

An absolute gem of a green space just off Richmond High Street.. you need to walk down the old narrow streets and then this beautiful green rolls out before your eyes.

Beautiful park with lots of space to relax and read, have a picnic, play with your dog, cloud watch, and more! There are so many lovely spots right around the green to grab some food or a book! It is surrounded by rich history and culture, and it is a lovely spot too take the afternoon to spend time with yourself or your loved ones!
