Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew reviews
A great garden and place to visit all year round. Warrants two visits. Not that peaceful with planes flying overhead every minute however. A shame Kew won't stand up to Heathrow expansion.
by Corblast, 09 Nov 2005Kew is great to visit at an time of year, but particularly in the Spring, when it's flowerbeds are in full effect.
One tip is to go in early January and take your Christmas tree there for recycling - they let you into the park for free!
If you like parks, flowers and plants from around the world this place is an absolute must. Truly a great place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of London. The tropical glass Palm House building should not be missed.
by Punkaj "top london reviewer" (27 reviews), 08 Apr 2004Take a picnic on a sunny day and enjoy a peaceful stroll through the woodland area or formal flower beds and fountains.
However, Kew is also quieter and more magical in winter when you can go and warm up in the great Victorian glass houses and see the incongruous sight of bananas growing in west London.
Have we missed a great park in London? Let us know.
