The largest of London's eight royal parks, Richmond Park is a nature reserve where red and fallow deer roam freely among gardens and historic buildings. Don't miss Isabella Plantation, 40-acres of beautifully landscaped flowers, trees, ponds and streams, and Pembroke Lodge for refreshments in an elegant Georgian tea room. There are also a range of sports activities for the outdoor types including cycling, fishing, golf and horseback riding, as well as popular playgrounds for children.
