World renowned Royal Parks, stunning stretches of riverside and extravagantly planted public parks and gardens combine to make Richmond upon Thames the greenest and most beautiful borough in London. In addition, it’s the only London borough to span both banks of the Thames.
The borough boasts over 130 parks, commons and woodlands which attract 5 million visitors each year.
One of the 130 parks is the largest Royal Park in London, Richmond Park. Home to herds of red and fallow deer as well as 2,500 acres of hills, woodlands, gardens and grasslands.
Bushy Park is another Royal Park and is only a stone’s throw from Hampton Court Palace. It’s home to free-roaming deer, the famous Diana Fountain, woodland gardens, a large children’s play area and the Chestnut Avenue designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
