I took advantage of a random nice day in October to visit the Gardens. Even in early fall, they were lovely. My favorite place was The Princess of Wales Conservatory mostly because I like tropical plants. The grounds were really well kept and the bio-diversity on display was amazing. I do wish they had a few more signs but, overall, didn't have much problems getting around. I did come on a Monday and there were very few people around, which was great.
I had an easy way to get here by taking the Tube District Line from my hotel. Then a quick walk through a lovely neighborhood in the village of Kew took me to the Victoria Gate Entrance. No wait times to get in, walked right up and got a ticket.
Unfortunately, they had just switched to winter hours so all the green houses closed at 3pm with the Gardens themselves closing at 4pm, plus several areas were closed for the season - like the Great Pagoda and Queen Charlotte's Cottage. Additionally, they were in the process of transitioning several exhibits so a few of the areas - like the Temperate House, the Treetop Walkway were also closed. Which wasn't the problem - I understand maintenance has to happen. But I wish the attendant who sold me the ticket would have let me know of the closures so I can plan my time more efficiently while there.
But overall I did enjoy a nice day there.
This place will leave you with best memories!
You can see species of trees, plants and flowers from all over the world 🤩
Lots of trails for walking. There is a kids playing ground and a fast food are. A nice restaurant can be found on the spot as well. Paid parking near the entrance of the garden.
We’ve also seen beautiful birds, squirrels and even a fox walking through the park 😊
Highly recommended place for a day spent with your family / kids!
Amazing place, lots to view and get a good few steps in. Walked 13,000 steps and we only visited 70%
1. Good variety of places to eat.
2. Scenic and natural environment.
3. Great for taking a leisurely stroll and getting some steps in.
4. The Lilly pads were amazing.
5. The treetop walk is a unique experience.
6. The view from the lake on the bridge is stunning.
7. Offers something for everyone.
**Cons:**
1. Shops inside can be a bit on the pricey side.
A unique and elegant walk in nature. Lovely kept gardens and lots of bird life and fauna to be seen. The glass hot houses hosting various plants were spectacular. The seed bank is absolutely encouraging. Close to London and worth a visit for everyone.
One of my favourite places for a perfect day out. The gardens and conservatories are beautiful. The food is a bit pricey so I would recommend bringing a picnic to have at one of the lovely spots around the garden.
This place is magical, healing and calming! I visited with my bestie for the Queer Nature exhibition and ended up exploring the entire park. I had a rejuvenating experience and why I say this is because ever since I’ve arrived in London I don’t think I’ve slept so peacefully then I did after Kew Gardens.
This place is great for people of all ages and if you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to give your train of life a little stop to recenter.
Highly recommend this place, do this at-least once while in London! And you’ll see exactly what I mean!
I’ve got so much to say about this venue but I think its iconic status speaks for itself. As a wedding photographer, I’m one of their recommended suppliers so you could call me biased but it’s truly one of top ten venues to photograph weddings at.
It has so many spectacular spaces to get married and I love seeing how couples personalise them with their own themes, flowers and styling to make it their own. The staff here are fantastic and do whatever they can to make sure your big day is everything you dream of.
Needless to say, the whole venue has endless special places for photographs and I’ve still got more to find!
Wow what a beautiful place, so breathtaking the multiple places to take pictures and lovely variety of things to see and explore.
From flowers, to plants and much more.
You could spend hours here as there is so much to see.
We only stayed for like 4hours or so but we managed to see nearly half of the surroundings.
Definitely worth a visit and very peaceful and relaxing to be in this beautiful place.
Less than a ten minute walk from Kew Gardens station.
I have only selected some of the most amazing pictures from the 100 or more I had taken just to give you a glimpse of this incredible environment and experience you could have.
What an amazing place. We really enjoyed the gardens much more than expected. One of the best days out we have had. Kew Palace has so much intrigue and the story surrounding George III is very interesting.
So much to see. It really is good value, we spent 5 hours here and did not see everything. The greenhouses are breathtaking. If you want to park in the car park arrive early, parking is very limited.
Obviously this will appear to those into gardening/nature. But the history of the entire garden is very interesting. I really can recommend it more!
We had such an incredible time at Kew Gardens last weekend. It's a very big and peaceful place which is quite easy to access by public transport. There are different houses sheltering many varieties of plants from various countries. There is also a tree walk from which you can have a view of the city and the park (accessible by stairs or lift). Forgot your picnic ? There are different cafés and restaurants in the gardens catering for different tastes and budgets. I would definitely return to this (not so) little haven.
