Your kind of afternoon
Give your afternoon a little breathing room.
Follow the Thames towards meadows and Richmond Park. Small missions and hidden stories give you reasons to pause along the way.
Richmond is London at its greenest. This gentle self-guided stroll starts at Richmond station and heads for the Thames, the meadows and the ancient wilds of Richmond Park, finishing with a famous protected view.
There is time to pause on Richmond Green, watch boats on the river, browse a garden stop and stand under the park's veteran oaks. Each of the six stops comes with a small mission and a story, and the PDF includes a Spotify playlist for the route and a printable Walk Bingo card.
