Kew Gardens

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew lift the spirit of all who visit. Originally the gardens to Kew Palace, the royal family’s summer residence, the land has been enhanced by a succession of talented designers and scientists. The Great Pagoda by William Chambers, The Palm House and Temperate House by Decimus Burton, are prominent features of the garden. Contemporary structures, the Lake Crossing by John Pawson and Treetop Walkway by Marks Barfield, add further interest.
