Deer in Richmond Park

Highlight • Forest

Richmond Park is a wild and rural landscape just a stone’s throw from central London. The largest of the city’s Royal Parks, Richmond was created by Charles I in the 17th century as a deer park and you can observe herds to this day.

The park has many ancient trees and is home to a number of species of fungi, birds, beetles, bats, grasses, and wildflowers. Richmond Park has many buildings of architectural or historic interest, including the Grade I-listed White Lodge which was formerly a royal residence and is now the Royal Ballet School.

Westminster Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

The iconic Westminster Abbey, the coronation church since 1066, has touched the lives of kings, queens, statesmen, soldiers, poets, priests, heroes, and villains since 960AD. Rich in history, tradition, and beauty, a visit to the famous abbey is awe-inspiring.

Due to the popularity of the abbey, it is well worth booking in advance. For more information, visit: westminster-abbey.org.

View of the London Eye

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the banks of the Thames, the world's third largest ferris wheel (the highest in 2004) revolves around the 135-meter-high Coca Cola London Eye. In the center of London you can take a short trip to heaven and enjoy a great view over London. Weather permitting, you can look up to 40 kilometers beyond the city limits of London to Windsor Castle.

From this central vantage point, one can see both the old traditional London and the many modern buildings and influences. Thus, the London Eye also stands for the changing times and should at the same time provide a glimpse into the past and the outlook for the future. Fittingly, the Ferris wheel was then opened to visitors at the turn of the millennium in the year 2000.

The building was designed by the architects David Markus and Julia Barfield - the gondolas were designed by Nick Bailey. The owner of the London Eye is the Merlin Entertainment Group. The 32 capsules, made almost entirely of glass, can hold up to 25 people each. Numbered are the capsules but until 33, because the number 13 has been omitted, which should bring good luck. For a circumnavigation, the bike takes about 30 minutes. By the way, the bike almost never stops: its low speed of rotation allows passengers to get on and off comfortably while they are in operation.

The view from the glass capsules of the Ferris wheel over the center of London is great. However, the London Eye is popular and the crowd is correspondingly high. If you really want to ride with you and want to plan in advance, you can buy your tickets online and save yourself the queues.

Sheen Cross, Richmond Park

Highlight • Trail

Richmond Park is the largest of London’s Royal Parks at 2,360 acres (955 hectares) in size. Historically the hunting grounds, or the reserve of the monarch, the park is now open to the public and is now a marvellous recreation area complete with deer and a wide range of wild birds. 

Here at Sheen Cross, you are at the main intersection of roads and trails within the park. There are wide open spaces with good views, trees, and the deer abound the area here. The traffic will be light as access to Richmond Park is limited.
