West London Queer Project

We’ll meet at Richmond Station at 9:45am before setting off at 10am. This walk is over 11km, and once we enter the park there are only a limited number of restrooms available. We expect this walk to take approximately 3 hours and will include a rest break at the Pen Pond Cafe (6.5km into the walk).

The walk takes in some of West London’s most spectacular river views, starting in Richmond town centre and continuing along the river to Richmond Hill looking over Petersham Meadows, before entering the park where we are sure to spot many of the wild deer that live there.

One of the highlights of Richmond Park is the Isabella Plantation, which is due to be in full bloom during our visit - a beautiful sight not to be missed, and only visible in its full colourful glory during a short two week window each year!

We will end our walk back at Richmond riverside where we can rest our legs and enjoy a nice beverage beside the river.
