Accessing by Car
If you are hiring on a weekend and you are coming by car, then you will need to plan your journey in order to avoid the Royal Parks traffic restrictions in the park.
You will need to arrive at Roehampton Gate using roads that are outside the park as it is not possible to travel there via the park roads from Richmond Gate or Kingston Gate at the weekend.
Full details can be found on The Royal Parks’ Movement Strategy pamphlet on the Royal Parks website.
Parking
The cycle centre is in the Roehampton Gate Car Park next to the Cafe and there is plenty of space.
There are six car parks in all within Richmond Park and these are clearly marked on the official park maps. Parking is currently free.
Occasionally when the park is busy the car parks can become full; in this situation please do not park on the roads or grassland (you will be ticketed).

There is a disabled-badge-holders only car park for the Isabella Plantation, access via Ham Cross.A free minibus service will operate every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 5 April until 29 November 2024, between the hours of 9:25am and 4:20pm.
