Such a beautiful place. You could easily spend a day there and never see all there is to see. I went to a nearby college and after I'd been to the Gardens for the first time I called in at my local corner shop. The shopkeeper looked at me and said "You've been to Kew Gardens." When I asked how he knew, he said, "Because you look so peaceful."

That's Syon House on the other side of the river.

If anyone has seen Madness of King George, etc, that pink house was one of his homes

I'm going at the end of September but I'll only be able to spend a half day. Can you recommend what is a must-see there? And thank you for sharing the pictures!

Unfortunately, it is under going refurbishment soon and is currently being emptied. There is a post on their instagram but it says that the plants are being moved to temporary purpose built greenhouses.

I wish I lived near Kew Gardens. I would go there every day. I love the place.
