Richmond Park, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, was created by Charles I in the 17th century as a deer park. The largest of London's Royal Parks, it is of national and international importance for wildlife conservation. The park is a national nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation and is included, at Grade I, on Historic England's Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. Its landscapes have inspired many famous artists and it has been a location for several films and TV series (credit - Wikepedia). The Pen Ponds are in the centre of the park and are a safe-ish haven for ducks, geese, swans, gulls and migratory birds. Only safe-ish because of the oafish behaviour of dog owners and the drunken hooligans of south London.
