Richmond Park, My Favorite Place for Hiking in London

✨【When I Really Don’t Know Where to Go on the Weekend】 Moving to London, and it’s almost been six months already? It hit me after the Spring Festival that time really flies. When I first arrived, I was all about checking out places and exploring new corners. The city is so vast, there are countless places worth visiting. But gradually, the rhythm of life replaced the initial novelty, and weekends are no longer packed with schedules, but rather a search for a more natural and carefree daily routine. 💕When I really don’t know where to go on the weekend, stepping out the door means heading to Richmond Park—a London park I never tire of. This is one of the many reasons I love London—the feeling of being able to walk into nature, always at my doorstep. 🌌Traveling is beautiful, of course, but for families with kids, just picking up and going somewhere far on a weekend is not easy. Richmond Park is like a gift from London to its city dwellers, where nature is just outside the door, no need to think too much, no need to hassle, just take the kids, take yourself, and go. Why do I love Richmond Park? 🦌 Deer herds are the real masters of the park here With over 600 wild deer, they elegantly roam the meadows and woods, completely indifferent to whether you’re there for the scenery or just for a stroll. The most beautiful moments are at dawn or dusk, when the deer in the morning mist are as serene as a movie scene. 🗺️ Walk and stop as you please, everywhere is beautiful The park is vast, but it’s not easy to get lost. Any path you take is scenic. It’s no stress with kids—they can run around freely, everywhere is beautiful. 🌳 The changing seasons offer a different kind of beauty each visit Tips for Families with Kids 👶 ✅ Picnic essentials | Bring a picnic blanket and snacks, the kids can play freely while the adults can relax and bask in the sun. 🚴‍♀️ Cycling with kids | The park has designated cycling paths Practical Information 📌 📍 Richmond Park 🚇 Transportation | District line to Richmond Station → switch to bus 371 / or take a taxi directly 🎫 Admission | Free!

In the distance, the deer emerge from the mist, like fairytale creatures. ☕ Strolling + coffee, the perfect way to start a weekend After a tiring walk, an English afternoon tea hits the spot. The view from the terrace is fantastic; on clear days, you can even see the London skyline in the distance. 🌅 The most beautiful at dusk, don’t miss it The setting sun casts a glow over the meadows, the silhouettes of the deer herds, the city skyline in the distance. #LondonWeekend #RichmondPark #LondonWithKids #LondonLife #FamilyLife #LondonParks #WhereToGoOnTheWeekend
