Founded in 1840, Kew Gardens boasts over 30,000 different plant varieties and is more like a green museum, showcasing and celebrating different periods of landscape architecture and gardening styles. You'll even find a royal palace on the site!
Tickets to Kew Gardens will also allow you to visit Temperate House – the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world, home to 1,500 plant 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 from the Treetop Walkway. Take inventory of the grounds atop the foliage, and get a unique vantage point of the park. Ground yourself again with a trip to the art galleries, included with your Kew Gardens ticket purchase. The Marianne North Gallery hosts art from around the world, while the Shirley Sherwood contains botanical art.

We broke up our visit to the busy city of London with an idyllic visit to Kew Gardens. Because it's a bit out of the way, we Ubered to and from downtown. These gardens are immense, varied, and absolutely beautiful. On our visit, the rhododendron were in full bloom as well as azaleas and many spring bulbs. We saw foxes on the grounds! Vegetation is well-marked, if you are a tree-geek like I am. This was a literal and figurative breath of fresh air to energize us for the rest of our London trip! This would also be a great place for kids as it has a section for them, and could certainly let them stretch their legs and get the wiggles out.
