Kew Gardens: London sightseeing tips

Richmond · Outdoors and views

Set aside time away from the centre for plant collections and extensive gardens. Treat Kew as its own half-day rather than an add-on after Westminster. Choose a few areas in advance because of the gardens’ scale, and include rest stops. Seasons and maintenance can affect access, so do not assume a particular glasshouse will be open.
