Bushy Park is the second largest of London's Royal Parks, at 445 hectares (1,100 acres) in area, and lies immediately north of Hampton Court Palace and Hampton Court Park.
It is surrounded by Teddington, Hampton, Hampton Hill and Hampton Wick, and is a few minutes walk from the north side of Kingston Bridge.
The Park is within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London and most of it is open to the public. Its acid grasslands are mostly just above the 25 foot contour.

Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,

to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
