Richmond Park.

So, so lovely. An absolute haven of peace and tranquillity.  Am a bit late in seeing one but saw some albinos. The formal gardens beautifully managed for colour and design and the 'wild' part, just that. A wonderful place.

Totally agree.  We are very fortunate to be surrounded by Richmond Park, Wimbledon and Putney Common, Barnes Common and the Thames.  It is the main reason I love Putney. I took up running a couple of years ago and have explored a bit more of the quieter parts of Richmond Park and Wimbledon Common. Just fantastic.

Yes indeed Barbara, a wonderful environment for all ages and there always seems to be new paths to follow and sights to see.

Completely agree!  Every time I think of moving out of London, I realise that we have access to far more wildlife and nature than many people who live outside London.

Agreed, a fantastic local facility. One of the reasoning I moved to and remain in Putney.

Couldn't agree more about Richmond Park. But what a terrible shame it is that the Pak's roads, intended for access to it, are monopolised by through traffic - and the utterly spineless Royal Parks has allowed that to happen, and then cravenly run away when ideas to limit traffic were proposed.
