Richmond end is narrow, 60cm, due to pavement parked cars....

I walked from Wimbledon to Kingston Vale....

After crossing underneath Kingston Road the next section is through Putney Common, which is nicely wooded (photo #3)....

Great route, but there is a fairly steep climb involved on the southern side, with the same and even steeper decline on the northern side of the trail. The crossing of the A3 into Wimbledon Common is annoying (but not strictly part of this route)....

There's a café and toilets (20 pence by card) at Kingston Gate....

John's Avenue off Putney Hill to get to East Putney Underground to finish (Rosy Lea tea shop opposite!)....

I left George Street, Richmond by going up Eton Street, then crossed Paradise Road into Vineyard Passage....

I started from Robin Hood Gate having walked from Richmond....

We followed this route as it was, but you could take a number of detours as you'd like to explore Richmond Park or follow wider paths if you'd rather not go through too much grass/bracken. We'd hoped there would be some picnic benches somewhere by Pen Ponds, but it looks like you'd have to get these more around the car park where the kiosk is rather than near the pond....

Once you get off the main road, it's a really pleasant stroll through suburban streets and the common. I did have to check the map a couple of times to make sure I was taking the right one, but generally it's straightforward and easy to navigate. Can't think of a better way between the two places!...

The section in Richmond itself was really busy, especially near the station as the trains weren't going and there was a long queue for the bus....

I walked this route on a freezing Saturday morning, from Wimbledon to Kingston Vale....

A3 crossing at Kingston Vale via traffic lights. Easy access to Wimbledon Common....

The last 30% of this route is quiet residential but the rest is a lovely jaunt through Richmond Park. The route follows a quiet footpath away from the cycle superhighway. There’s a slight climb at one point but nothing too taxing....

I walked this route from Wimbledon to Kingston Vale on a muddy January morning!...

I loved that the route felt like it passed through a lot of different parts of Richmond Park and didn't just follow one "main path" while still being quite direct....

Steep hill at Wimbledon, and the paths on the common may get muddy over winter. I really enjoyed walking this route. When combined with Richkin One, the overall Richmond - Wimbledon Slow Way delivers a full 5 stars....

This is a route that works ok, it will get you from Kingston Vale to Kingston without much mishap, but I would prefer if it was on footpath rather than the road in Richmond Park....

Jane Taylor

This is a route I made in response to Kinkin One, as an option that follows footpaths rather than the road through Richmond Park. At Kingston Vale the route does a dog-leg to the final meeting point....

Jane Taylor

Additional review to alert that part of this route across the Pen Ponds Causeway will be closed from 16th August - 4th October 2021 (dates subject to change) while the causeway is raised to cope with 'one in a thousand year' flooding. Maybe there will be a signposted diversion, otherwise refer to maps to steer around the closure, which will involve walking round the ponds. Still a 5 star route!...

Jane Taylor

The route crosses Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common before arriving at Kingston Vale to connect with routes through Richmond Park to Richmond and Kingston....

Jane Taylor

Walk uphill to one of the lesser known park gates, and across the park to Robin Hood Gate and the A3, with opportunities to see fantastic urban wildlife. The meeting point creates a bit of a dog leg for anyone joining two routes together, and can easily be skipped altogether by crossing the A3 directly outside Robin Hood gate to reach Wimbledon Common, rather than walking to the meeting point, then crossing the A3 by footbridge....

Jane Taylor

In the park the route follows the road to Kingston Vale....

Luke Reader

The last 10 minutes down Putney Hill to Putney Station was more frenetic but there's no way round that....

Michael Stone

Once on Wimbledon Common at the end of The Grange, the route is transformed and is an excellent path across the Common, through heathland, woods and golf courses....

Richard Grace

Once on Putney Heath, there was little reason to feel you were in London....

Once outside Richmond Park at the Richmond end there is good use of side road which meant that this was an enjoyable walk....
