It's not the first time I visit Kew Gardens. I start by saying that I had been visiting more than one botanical garden, included Rio de Janeiro (which is really, really remarkable). Actually, Kew gardens fascinates in summer and spring as well as in winter. Princess of wales pavillion, pagoda, the forest, Kew palace, Palm house, Temperate House, Edible Science and so on ARE unquestionably AMAZING. They provide each and everyone with 360 degrees about ecological worries.

It was amazing to get some more insight in the history of the gardens. And the best thing was that the tour costs less than normal entry fee😊

Great place to visit wonderfully kept gardens though in London easy to drive to but to see it all you need more than a day

We were rejected. Tickets were invalid they said. Purchase at your own risk ⚠️ Such an embarrassing and shameful moment for us.

Loved it. Huge, beautiful, multiple plant conservatories, beautiful flowering plants, palms, cacti and trees. A walk in the park. Nature lovers won’t want to miss it. We’ll worth the time and admission fee.

What a fantastic day out at Kew we thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Walking the gardens & the tropical conservatories was amazing. If you are in this part of London this is a must.

We took the 30 Tube ride out to Richmond and as I had purchased timed online tickets prior to our visit so enter was a breeze. We took the Garden Explorer train to get an overview and then planned our visit from there. Walk all over the Gardens and had afternoon tea in the Cafe overlooking the central pond. It was a highlight of our entire London trip!

Frank_P

Thoroughly enjoyed the mature trees, and the alliums blooming in the beds in front of the palm house. Also found the Hive unique and brilliantly presented.

Amazed by how handy this guide format is - !can take as long(or skip over) as you like at each stop. Been to Kew many times and hadn’t realised the non-botanical history of the place! Live and learn… Adds a very interesting sparkle to an already brilliant spot. Will see me again Vidi
