The green is itself is a mini park without much to do. The real attraction is the remains of the Tudor Richmond Palace nearby. The Gatehouse and some houses are still there, with the Old Deer Park which the Tudors used. It is all free and provides walks in all directions.
This is a large square green crossed by two paths and surrounded by tall trees and big houses (and an old palace used by Henry VIII). Most of the green is the central grass area which is used for picnics and just sitting on during the summer, as well as cricket some weekends. It's not spectacular but it's nice and pretty, and a lovely contrast from downtown Richmond which is very close by. The TripAdvisor map may direct you to NE London which is incorrect.
Richmond Green is right in the centre of Richmond 200 yards from the main high street.There are in fact two geens the big one and the smaller one.It has many older buildings facing the Green many of which are of architecural interest including Richmond Theatre. There are anumber of pubs and in the summer cricket is played here. It a picturesque schene
Of interest to me because of the last remaining fragment of the (Tudor) Richmond Palace, and as the home of the lovely Richmond Theatre. It's a nice square green space just a short walk from the busy centre of Richmond and is surrounded by attractive buildings, but is not really a tourist destination in itself except for those specifically visiting this area.
Once a while, there are crickets matches are held in the park and there are drinks available from nearby pubs such as the Cricketers or any vendors around there.
Nice to be there for sunbathing or simply picnics.
