Now a World Heritage Site, Kew Gardens represents 250 years of garden and landscape development. Kew’s expansive collections include over 30,000 types of plants, from rainforest to desert, many contained within its famous glasshouses. Every season is a different experience at Kew, a feeling enhanced by our year-round programme of special events and festivals. Providing a calm and tranquil contrast to the city, Kew is within easy reach of central London tube, train or by river boat from Westminster Pier.
The intimate Kew Palace, once a rich merchant's house, was home to King George III, Queen Charlotte and some of their daughters from 1801-1818, during the King's bouts of supposed "madness". Now, after a ten year conservation project and with a fascinating new re-presentation, the palace is open to the public once more. Visitors are inviated to enjoy the palace at their own pace but suggest that the visit will take roughly 1 hour.
