"There are a few things to know when planning a day out in Richmond. The first is that no one cares if your 12-year-old self felt an emotional connection to Bambi, you should never touch the deer in the park. Secondly, it can feel more like a forest than a park so it’s quite easy to get lost. And thirdly, as quaint and romantic a picnic in the grass sounds, lunch at Scott’s is undeniably better. Take a stroll through the greenery, and end it with a table on Scott’s terrace. The food at this high-end seafood spot is consistently impressive, whether that’s the monkfish and tiger prawn masala or their take on fish and chips that will ensure you’re way too full for dessert. They’re not too snooty about trainers, but it is on the fancy side so save it for a day when you’re not embarking on a full-on hike." - rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, jake missing
