🦌 Royal Wilderness Escape: Richmond Park Adventure

#londontrips

Craving a breath of fresh air and some wild charm in London? Head southwest to Richmond Park, the largest of the royal parks — where city life gives way to roaming deer, panoramic views, and ancient oaks that whisper centuries of stories.

🌿 Wander Through Ancient Woodland
Start your adventure at Pembroke Lodge, where landscaped gardens lead into wilder woods. Venture deeper and you’ll find gnarled oaks and chestnuts that have stood for hundreds of years, offering dappled shade and fairytale vibes.

🦌 Spot the Free-Roaming Deer
Keep your camera ready — over 600 red and fallow deer call Richmond Park home! These majestic residents roam freely, adding an unforgettable thrill to every stroll. Just remember to admire from a respectful distance.

🏞️ Don’t Miss King Henry’s Mound
Climb up this historic viewpoint for one of the most surprising London secrets — a perfectly framed protected view all the way to St. Paul’s Cathedral, over 10 miles away! It’s the kind of hidden gem even locals love rediscovering.

🚴 Explore by Bike or Horseback
Feeling more adventurous? Rent a bike or join a horseback ride to explore the park’s vastness. The trails wind through meadows, past shimmering ponds, and into quiet corners where time slows down.

☕ Refuel Like Royalty
Circle back to Pembroke Lodge Tea Rooms for hearty scones, sandwiches, and a cup of tea with a view fit for nobility.
