Kew Gardens Tour

Make London sightseeing a literal breath of fresh air on this self-guided tour of Kew Gardens. Get your Kew Gardens ticket and roam the huge space and spot landmark sites like Kew Palace, the 10-story Chinese pagoda, and the Temperate House - a vast greenhouse that looks as beautiful on the outside as it does in - and even a waterfall.
Founded in 1840, Kew Gardens boasts over 30,000 different kinds of plants and is more like a green museum, showcasing different periods of landscape architecture and gardening styles. You'll even find a royal palace on the site!
Your Kew Gardens ticket will also allow you to visit Temperate House - the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world, home to 1,500 species. The park's botanists tend to some of the rarest and most threatened temperate zone plants from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Islands.
Get the best view of the gardens on the Treetop Walkway. Stare out atop the foliage, and get a unique vantage point of the park. Ground yourself again with a trip to Kew's art galleries. The Marianne North Gallery hosts art from around the world, while the Shirley Sherwood contains botanical art.
