    Pity we can't do the same with bankers...
    They do the same in Bushy park - apparently the queen eats them afterwards.

    Do the school run into the Park on a Sat and Sunday - so many near misses its a bit like Madmax. Roll on the dark nights when the gates close early and they let us in at 7.30 when its empty(ish)

    More fool those particular cyclists.

    In about a month the stags get really aggressive.

    While the police prefer to hound commercial vehicles every now and then they do this -

    And if walking or running on a foot path you just pretend not to hear them so they have to stop.

    The Royal Parks have their own by-laws and the parks police can stop then fine and remove you from the park if you break them.

    On shared paths the speed limit is half that and people on foot have priority, and cycles can't use the bridal paths or go off road/path.


    Also the dog should have been on a lead or otherwise under control. The owner can be prosecuted for not having the dog under control in a Royal Park.
