From Richmond Station, head left through the town centre along The Quadrant and George Street. Then, head up Hill Street and Richmond Hill to the gates of the Park.
From here, the choice is yours - the following route is just a suggestion, but the park is well signposted and easy to explore. My favourite route is straight ahead, towards the Pen Ponds.
There are often birds around the ponds, which makes it a pleasant place to stop. From here, head up the hill towards the woods.
Another nice spot, but there are lots to find. The roads which cut through the Park are a plague, but this is one of the quieter places which feel more like the country than a city.
From the southern tip of the Park you can head down Queen's Road to Norbiton Station. If the weather's nice, head East past Coombe Hill and explore Wimbledon Common as well!
This is the edge of Wimbledon Common. As with Richmond Park, don't follow a set route, just lose yourself and explore! Wimbledon Station is not too far the other side of the Common.
Head home from Wimbledon, well served by buses and trains.
