Been looking for an excuse to visit Richmond since before lockdown. Today, the stars aligned: a gig in Vauxhall requiring a trip on the Reading to Waterloo line, which goes via... yep, you guessed it. This trig gets a lot of passing traffic, so I was surprised to be left completely alone as I took my usual photos. No views from the pillar, but some superb ones from the hillside terrace on the way up. Possibly the poshest trig I've ever bagged. FB S7250 is attached to a building just outside the park gates, too.

Between 1992 and 2009 I either lived or worked a stones throw from Richmond Park, and must have walked, jogged, ran, cycled and driven past this Trig Point HUNDREDS of times without paying it the slightest notice. I would spend weekends driving up to Scotland and back again to bag a Munro or two, often with Trig Points on top of them, and never bothered to visit the Trig Point half a mile from where I was! So now, living close to the Scottish Border in North Northumberland, I drive all the way back down to Richmond to say with certainty “I’ve bagged the Trig Point in Richmond Park”. Seems idiotic, but actually feels immensely satisfying!

(1498) After visiting Kew Gardens, it was time to tick this one off the list - always good to bag a pillar, if possible, on an away trip. Nice walk through the park. Signs aplenty stating Deer roam free, though I didn't spot any - maybe Fenton had returned! Pillar is in good condition, but minus it's original plug. OS plaque present from 1999.

Excellent view of St Paul's from adjacent Mound today. Pillar condition unchanged, remarkable considering its very public position. Also has a primary plaque on it, notwithstanding it's a secondary!

Why have I never been to Richmond Park before? Don't know. Unfathomable. But I made up for it today. On my annual visit to Craven Cottage, I visited the Park and explored it for 3 or 4 hours, criss-crossing it (under, over, sideways, down!) enjoying the red & fallow deer, and the exotic green parakeets (still haven't got used to their now permanent presence in London). This is a beautiful green space. Pillar has plastic cap, and all four s/h's open. Then on to a rocking Craven Cottage to see Fulham win 2-0. Brilliant atmosphere, lovely attacking fitba, the best I've seen in years. Dad, you'd have loved it!

Trust me to cycle along the Thames Path when there was a charity run on. Very busy and gave up and went on the road. Richmond Park was not much better. Everyone and his dog was out either cycling or driving in their cars. While the trig is on a high part of the hill there isnt much in the way of views because of the building or trees. Still a very nice morning to go for a cycle, even if it is to get only one trig! Was dry all the way back to the car but it peed it down when on M4!

Bagged as YSM0164 Richmond Park. Love this park, just so out of place in the middle of London and the deer look so happy, no idea why as they must have 1000's of tourists take pictures every day! Trig was a quick bag and not far from the car park, last one for Mr U2, so we rewarded ourselves with a lovely lunch in the cafe! #3 day#5 Total day#4 #13 Total day#3 #12 Total day#2 #11 Total day#1 #13

Unbelievably easy to access and find the pillar is just N of the car park near Pembroke Lodge just follow the path - there are even toilets. Wish I had more time to explore, but this was a smash and grab with nearly 200 miles to drive home. Lots of deer nearby. Good condition, OS plaque.

Always nice to save the best till last on a trigpointing day and the walk up from Ham to here and the views from close to the trig and on the walk down to richmond tube were very good,I had planned to continue on to do a couple of London borough tops on Wimbledon common but to much wondering about earlier so called it a day here.

Cycled past this one on several occasions without it registering! Nothing exceptional about it, but, about 100m away through a deer gate and into the gardens of Pembroke Lodge, is Henry's Mound. This has one of a limited number of 'protected views' in the London area - this one of St Paul's Cathedral. It's a breathtaking sight, and well worth a look if you're at the TP.

Our first pillar in Greater London. Bagged after a visit to Twickenham Stoop to watch Harlequins play Bradford Bulls, (FT. 16-30). The pillar is in a rather secluded spot amongst the trees and a short walk from the car park. I spent some 10 minutes talking to an interested passer-by about the purpose and history of the pillar and the principles of triangulation, he seemed to be enlightened. Richmond Park is well worth a visit and the view from King Henrys Mount excellent. We were astonished to find a free, unvandalised telescope available.

Very good condition pillar on the top of Richmond Hill. All sightholes open. Cap missing but hole plugged with a sort of metal plate. FB faces west-ish. Amazing views over London from inside the park from King Henry's mound. Slightly more limited from the trig itself...

The first log of 1982 discribes this as prestine white. Not any more. O.K it was 25 yrs ago. Not much else to add. There is a 20 mph speed limit in the park. Drive at that speed and see how many cyclists overtake you. Interesting. Also took in the Star and Garter NPFB easy to locate, just outside the park.

The first of two YOSM T/Ps logged today. This one was very easy to get to being alongside a road through Richmond Park. It’s in good condition with a resin plug. The terrain is fairly flat here and the views are just parkland. They're very nice, but not exactly exciting.

Used to be my local trig when I lived in London. Been many times but this one is for the record as I was training for a half marathon and used it as an excuse to stop for a breather. (Also possibly the earliest trig I have ever bagged in the day as had to get the running over before the park got too busy). Wonderful sunny and quiet Sunday morning, great views from nearby down over Kingston and Ham towards the river.

A very pleasant park, but I think the locals use the road as a short-cut. Check out the view of St Paul's Cathedral from the nearby King Henry VIII's Mound, inside Pembroke Lodge Gardens. Also good views to the west. GR to 10m only.

My meeting in London dragged on for longer than expected but I was still determined to satisfy my wanderlust so visited this trig in the dark. Fortunately my GPS has a light on its screen. Didn’t see any deer out for an evening walk. The trig is next to a park road and path so access is easy.
