I rarely visit Richmond Park because that it takes so long to get there. If you're new to London whatever you do, don't take the District or Overground lines unless you're within 10 stops away.
There is a faster way from central London. Take an overground train from Waterloo. Trains to Reading are the quickest because there's only one stop, Clapham Junction. There are other trains but make sure you check the stops because it can be either 25 minutes or 55 minutes to Richmond.
From the train station I took a 371 bus and got off at the American University stop. It's a few minutes walk from there to the gates of Richmond Park. As you can tell it's not the most convenient park to get to but there are plenty of rugged natural areas to hike or have a picnic and see the deer that roam in the park.
Blue skies are fleeting so we made the most of them. It was a beautiful spring day.
By 4pm the clouds rolled in and it got cold. We saw what my friend came out to see-the deer that roamed the park.
The appeared to be used to humans following them with smartphones. Very peaceful creatures.
