Kew Gardens is a botanic garden in southwest London that houses one of the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world. With over 250 years of history, Kew Gardens formally started in 1759 and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2003.
Spanning over 300 acres, Kew Gardens has over 50,000 living plants, as well as glasshouses, galleries and archives. Standing 18 metres above the ground, enjoy the view atop the Treetop walkway. Explore the lush tropical rainforests housed within the world's largest Victorian glasshouse, visit the mesmerizing Hive installation or step into the Garden's Royal Palace. With a variety of events and exhibitions spanning all year round, there is something to fascinate everyone at what has become the UK's largest World Heritage Site.
Only 30 minutes from central London, the park’s four gates can be accessed by car, rail or bus. The nearest underground station is Kew Gardens, on the District Line.
