I'm in London and looking for some good spots to run; I did consider running along the river, but remembered the traffic fumes. So parks would be great
Staying a night in Heathrow then a few days in North West London |

Richmond Park is excellent and popular spot but very hilly so good if you are conditioning for that.
Gunnersbury Park has weekend Park runs organised but parking has gotten tight and they make you pay now.
Accost along the river isn't very fumey as the paths are quite far away from the roads and there will be a lot of other runners.
Hounslow Heath also quiet good but it's more like trail running than pavement pounding |

Thanks, I will give Richmond Park a go; I live in North Wales so hills are fine for me. I will also give a run down by the river a shot too
I don't mind a Parkrun, but I'm training so 5k is too short at the minute
Thanks for the advice |

Richmond Park is terribly hilly but if you're in North West London maybe consider laps around Hyde Park or Regents Park. Battersea Park is good too for 3km laps if you want to get to and cross the river.
