Peaceful park, great for riding bikes! They could definitely add more signage around around the park though - to point visitors to different spots like pembroke lodge and pen ponds

One of the most beautiful parks I’ve visited in London. It’s huge, incredibly green, and full of lush woodland and open spaces. Seeing the deer roaming freely was an amazing experience—they come surprisingly close, but they’re calm and peaceful. We also spotted squirrels and lots of beautiful birds, which made the walk even more special. The lake is absolutely stunning and a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. A must-visit if you’re looking to escape the city for a few hours.

Great park part of the Royal Parks and the biggest. We managed to walk maybe just a quarter of the park but find a few deers just Infront of us and saw a herd a bit far a way. Couple lakes on the middle with great area to relax many ducks and birds. Spot few rabbits as well. Definitely we will be back for another walk. Highly recommended.

Seeing the free roaming deer was really exciting and astonishing. It’s a HUGE park, so if you want to explore it, be prepared for some (very scenic and beautiful) walking. The lake is also beautiful, and there are lots of squirrels, ducks, and other wildlife!

Richmond Park is a truly beautiful and peaceful place. The park is famous for its free-roaming deer, which add a special charm and make the visit feel unique and natural. Watching the deer moving freely across the open fields is a wonderful experience. There are also ducks around the ponds, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The scenery is stunning, with wide green spaces and fresh air, making it a perfect place to enjoy nature, relax, and spend quality time outdoors. It’s an ideal spot for walking, taking photos, and escaping the busy city life.
