Highlights
- Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew - Head inside Kew Gardens and then spend as little or as much time as you like exploring London’s finest botanical gardens. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kew Gardens consists of acres of tranquil grounds with one of the world’s largest collections of plants. Either walk around at leisure or join one of the free guided walking tours that take place daily in the gardens.
Stroll around admiring highlights like the Azalea Garden, Minka House and Bamboo Garden in the center of the park. Check out the 17th century-style Queen’s Garden near Kew Palace (also known as the Dutch House), and see several of Kew’s oldest sculptures that were donated by the British Royal Family.
Perhaps take a walk along the Rhizotron and Xstrara Treetop Walkway, and stroll through the crowns of oak trees at a height of 59 feet (18m), seeing birdlife, fungi and lichen up close. Watch out for the 10-storey Pagoda in the southwest corner of the gardens, and wander along the Holly Walk, seeing trees that have grown there for over 130 years.

Kew Gardens are Amazing. - Stunning even though the outdoor gardens were just starting to come alive. I went to see the old and very beautiful greenhouses which did not disappoint. Recommend a walk through the gardens mid-week off season. It will feel as if you have the whole place to yourself.

Incredibly beautiful! - We walked almost the entire garden. Loved every second of it. Wear comfy shoes and just walk around and enjoy. The Japanese garden was serene. The tropical greenhouse was humid! The kitchen garden was just starting to grow. The roses were a couple of weeks away, but still incredible. LOVED!

A not to be missed experience - Not my first visit to Kew as it is impossible to see everything in one day. However, this visit was blessed with wonderful spring weather and all of the trees in blossom. A great day.
Plenty of places to eat and drink and plenty to see and do.. Make sure you are wearing good walking shoes as it does entail a lot of walking.

Worth the effort - A beautiful park with many different elements that make a visit definitely worthwhile.
The park is very easily accessible by metro. From the station it is a short walk to the entrance.
The park offers something for everyone! Blooming flowers, the most exotic plants in the various greenhouses, a treetop walk and much more. You can stroll around for hours and enjoy what nature has to offer.
At the entrance there is a nice gift shop to complete your visit with a nice souvenir.
Highly recommended to visit!

Beautiful in spring + jade vines - Cherry blossom season/early spring is the perfect time to visit Kew. Everything is just coming into bloom and are flowering at their most beautiful but everything is in different stages so you have some just flowering and others already in full growth. We were exceptionally fortunate to capture the blossoming jade vines as well which we had never seen before in the Princess of Wales Conservatory which is also my favourite part of Kew - the intermixing of aquatic creatures, different biomes all rolled into one makes it a really fun and interactive conservatory to go to, and is a lot more modern than some of the others.

Kew Gardens Rhododendron Valley - Last time we missed the Rhododendron bloom, so that was our main goal for the visit. Totally amazing. But we managed to see other things as well. The park is so big that it takes many hours to go through everything, so it is good to select certain areas.

Gardens awesome, Cafe not so much - Kew Gardens are of course wonderful all round. My disappointment was with the cafe food standard vs price. 'Prawn fritters' @ £10.50 turned out to be 3 one-bite size prawn concoction with a slash of mayo across them. Zero else....£10.50. Really. By any standard that is taking the piss! On a semi busy day tables were slow to be cleared, we cleared the debris from ours before we could sit down but even after our food was delivered and server hands were free they didn't take the debris (now on a chair) away with them. I write this as constructive criticism for the cafe so they can improve. I'm not saying don't go to visitors reading this, I'm just hoping Kew read these reviews and act upon them.

Take your own food to avoid being ripped-off - The gardens are fabulous. We enjoyed all the zones. However, I suggest you take your own food as the prices in all the food outlets are a total rip-off. And the quality of the food is not that great. And how can a food establishment leave food on open display in a ‘food court’ area, drying out. It’s a disgrace.
