The Royal Parks media centre

Our communications team handles all national, international and regional press enquiries and news stories. It’s the sole point of press contact for all the parks. 

If you're a journalist, please call 0300 061 2128 to speak to a member of the communications team (including outside office hours) or email press@royalparks.org.uk. If you need to speak to us urgently outside normal office hours, or on a weekend or bank holiday, please call rather than email, as we may not respond immediately to emails.

If you're a member of the public, please get in touch using our online form.
