Kew Royal Botanic Gardens
Description
Begun in 1759, Princess Augusta's hobby developed into one of the most famous collections of flowers the world has ever seen. Kew Gardens is now a sprawling 300-acre riverside site housing over 300,000 different varieties of plant life. The main attractions here are the world-renowned greenhouses, each one an architectural masterpiece - the Japanese Pagoda, Queen Charlotte's Cottage and finally the Palm House. There are also various magnificent themed gardens exhibited throughout the year.
I liked my experience in Kew Gardens. Nice atmospher, interesting views and i especially liked the green houses. Excellent for a family day out! best to go in the early afternoon.
Fantastic trip just outside London proper. Not only the gardens but the small town of Kew is well worth the trip via the Tube. If you love gardening and want to see a typical English town this is the place for you.
