Go Outdoors names two London parks among best places for an Autumn walk in 2025
Two of London’s biggest parks have been named among the best places to go for an autumn walk by Go Outdoors.
There’s nothing quite like autumn in London – that golden window where the city’s parks transform into a blaze of amber, scarlet and gold.
Crunchy leaves underfoot, crisp air on your cheeks, and the promise of a cosy hot chocolate after your stroll – it’s the season that makes even the shortest walk feel magical.
So it comes as no surprise that Richmond Park and Regent’s Park have been named among the very best places in the UK for an autumn walk.
From Richmond’s sweeping landscapes where deer wander through misty meadows, to Regent’s perfectly kept gardens glowing with seasonal colour, both offer the ultimate backdrop for soaking up autumn’s charm.
Whether you’re chasing conkers with the kids, snapping that perfect pumpkin-spice Instagram shot, or simply enjoying the peace of nature in the heart of the capital, these two parks prove you don’t need to leave London for a stunning autumn escape.
Richmond Park was named the fifth best place for an autumn walk in the country by Go Outdoors, while Regent’s Park came in tenth. Both London parks are rated 4.7 stars out of 5 on TripAdvisor, with visitors celebrating their wildlife, vast open spaces and long walks.
Natalie Wolfenden, Author and hiking enthusiast at GO Outdoors, comments: “There is still so much to explore when summer comes to an end. The UK’s natural beauty comes to life in the autumn months, with the leaves shifting colour and the changing wildlife. I love it!
“To fully enjoy your autumn stroll, preparation is key. Layers are essential in the autumn months as they can be added or removed depending on the weather conditions on the day. What’s more, rain can come when least expected, so be sure to wear a good pair of walking shoes as well as pack a waterproof jacket and trousers. This will help you make the most of your walk, no matter what the weather throws at you.”
