Equestrian Services in Greater London

You do not have to leave London to learn to ride. The capital has riding schools and stables from Hyde Park to its green edges, and it is a great place to try riding for the first time.

Where to ride in Greater London
Riding in Hyde Park along Rotten Row is a classic London experience, and Richmond Park, Wimbledon Common and parts of Epping Forest on the north-east edge of the city all have tracks open to riders. Outer boroughs such as Enfield, Barnet, Bexley and Havering have larger yards with more space. Lessons in central London tend to cost more than elsewhere in the UK, so it is worth comparing a few centres.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in Greater London
Our Greater London directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as London, Enfield, Bexley, Upminster and Barnet. Most riding schools offer group and private lessons for beginners and experienced riders, and many run pony days and holiday clubs for children. Prices vary between centres, so it is worth contacting a few to compare. Look for British Horse Society (BHS) or Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) approval as a sign of good standards.
