We are the Richmond Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

A leisurely linear smorgasbord of touristic treats, first to the Science Museum to see one exhibit, the aircraft Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic in 1919, then north to the Albert Memorial, the epitome of Victorian Gothicy excess. Eastward to Rotten Row (why “rotten?”) and the Diana Fountain. On around the eastern end of the Serpentine to its boathouse to embark on an optional 30-minute pedalo cruise (weather permitting). Back on land, after a picnic lunch, we cross the Serpentine Bridge to pass Peter Pan and the Italian Fountains. Finally, we search Leinster Terrace for a trompe d’oeil. The walk ends at Notting Hill station approx 14:30 with the option of an extension to nearby Campden Hill Rd to view the characterful interior of the Windsor Castle pub. Entry to the Science Museum is free but it is recommended to book the 10:45 slot (to avoid queuing).The cost of 30 minutes of pedalo is £10.50 for Standard Adult or £6.90 before noon.
