Out of all the Royal Parks in London, Richmond Park is the largest, making it one of the most important Sites of Special Scientific Interest.
This National Nature Reserve contains a variety of life; from deer to wild shrubs, fungi and small creatures, it is a beautiful place to behold.
The historic gardens are full of woodlands and meadows, providing awe for anyone who visits them.
A local, Lybah Hajwane described Richmond Park as “a great place to relax, de-stress after school, or have a picnic with my friends!”
Visitors often enjoy the splendour of the Pembroke Lodge gardens, where they can savour sips of coffee at the cafe, as well as wander in the 12 acres.
Local visitor, Ania Hegarty said “It’s a very nice place to be; the nature is preserved well.”
Dogs are not permitted in Pembroke Lodge in order to preserve the 18th century garden, however they can walk in the many acres of Richmond Park, and can be kept on a lead in the Isabella Plantation.
The Isabella Plantation is a hidden 40 acre garden known for its Japanese Kurume azaleas, which can be a popular site for photographers.
Richmond Park is full of wonderful woodland walks and open grasslands, where its beauty can be enjoyed throughout the seasons by everyone who visits.
