Insider Tips
Kew’s famous Victorian-era Palm House and the Temperate House are architectural marvels and home to an incredible range of tropical and subtropical plants. But Kew Gardens is not just about plants, there are also beautiful landscapes, sculptures, and historic structures. You can visit Kew Palace, the smallest of the British royal palaces, or explore modern installations like the Treetop Walkway, which offers a unique perspective on the gardens from above (18m above the ground)
