A beautiful place to escape the hustle and bustle of London. Online tickets are £22:00 (June 2025 prices) but well worth it. The grounds and Victorian Glasshouse are a joy. Visited the Pagoda for the first time (an additional £4:50), which requires a climb of 253 steps. Again, the views and close-ups of the ornate dragons are worth it. I most definitely should visit more often.

Kew Gardens is an absolute delight, especially in spring when nature is in full bloom. The vibrant green pathways lined with white and pink blossoms on the trees, and delicate white flowers covering the ground, give the entire place a magical, almost paradise-like feel. Ticket Info: • Standard entry is £24.50 if booked online and £27 at the gate. • The peak season runs from February to October. • From 1st May onward, if you visit after 4:00 PM, you can avail a discounted entry at £12.50. • Note that the Dragon Tower requires a separate ticket costing £4.50 if you want to access the top floor for panoramic views. Getting There: I travelled from Ealing Broadway and took the 65 bus — it took about 45 minutes to reach the garden. Highlights: • The greenhouse was lush and very humid inside, filled with a diverse collection of tropical plants. • The Kew Palace is also within the garden premises and is worth visiting — although I missed it as it closes at 16:30. • There’s a dedicated children’s playground, which is great if you’re visiting with family. What makes Kew Gardens unique is that it’s not just a tourist attraction — it’s also a renowned botanical research center, contributing to global plant science and conservation. Definitely a place worth visiting for nature lovers, families, and photography enthusiasts. Plan ahead to make the most of it!

Spent a fantastic day with my good lady at Kew. We travelled by coach, a local company to us called Barnes, who were also great and highly recommended. Lunch in the Orangery was very tasty, with good sized portions. At £15.50 each I felt was very good value. The gardens are extremely tranquil and the hard work that goes into keeping them so splendid really does shine through. Well worth a day trip. Looking forward to returning to see the autumn colours.

Kew Gardens is a breathtaking botanical paradise that left me in awe of its diversity and beauty. The sprawling greenhouses are a highlight, housing an astonishing variety of plants from across the globe, each meticulously curated to showcase nature’s wonders. From tropical marvels to desert flora, these glasshouses are a testament to Kew’s commitment to botanical excellence. Beyond the greenhouses, the gardens themselves are a visual feast, with beautifully designed ponds and landscapes reflecting English, Chinese, and Japanese styles. Each area offers a unique aesthetic, blending serene elegance with vibrant diversity, making every step a delight for the senses. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Kew Gardens is an unmissable gem that celebrates the world’s botanical heritage in stunning fashion.

We went to Kew as I haven't been for 30 plus years. It was our wedding anniversary and I have to say we had a great day. It was pouring with rain but the experience did not dampen our spirits and it was still brilliant. Firstly getting to Kew is easy enough by train but the signage could be better as we did get a little lost! But after asking 3 people we got there eventually! The main entrance is beautiful and the staff I cannot fault! There is a land train which I highly recommend, though for £6.50 a person i did think was a little expensive especially if it's a hot day and they squeeze in 6 people in a carriage! However it was just the two of us on the day which was nice. The staff were brilliant for the train and it was nice to hear the history (though it cut out a few times on the journey) We then got off at the orangery for lunch which I have to say was amazing but for £44 for 2 lunches and 2 small drinks i was a little shocked 😲 but it's London rates at a famous location so be prepared for prices of stuff! However the food was brilliant! Just no signage of costs. There is a cafe hidden behind the children's area which if we knew about may of gone there. The gardens were amazing, there is clearly a LOT of skill, love, care in the gardens and this is very evident. Overall I cannot complain too much and would definitely consider coming back, be prepared for extra costs and it's a LOT bigger than people realise but definitely worth a visit.
