Cycling in Richmond Park will be banned from tomorrow (28 March) due to congestion and a failure to observe social distancing rules although other Royal Parks will remain open said a Royal Parks spokesperson.
NHS workers can continue to cycle though the park if they show their staff pass
The Royal Parks is appealing to everyone to follow government advice and to remain at least two metres (six feet) apart from each other and there must be no gatherings of more than two people outside your immediate household at all times – that includes no groups of people cycling, walking or jogging, no group picnics and no sitting on a bench next to someone outside your household. They also recommend that dogs are kept on leads, particularly in the deer parks.
