Huge, wildlife park that stretches for miles covering a triangle of Kingston, Richmond and Roehampton. There are cycle paths and walkways right through the park and a huge lake to dip your feet into on a summers day. But one of the main attractions is the deer and other range of wildlife you can spot while roaming through it. It’s a classified as a National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest - ooo er!
All in all it’s a wonderful escape from the chaos of London, and the route from up there from the tube is lined with cosy waterfront pubs serving good, reasonably priced drinks (real ale for those that way inclined and decent wine for those who aren’t) and hearty fresh food.
