The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London grow more species in their 132 hectares than any other gardens in the world.


The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, London grow more species in their 132 hectares than any other gardens in the world and have a long and distinguished history. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these magnificent London gardens, glasshouses, and galleries are a living exhibit as well as an important historical legacy. Kew Gardens' modern history really begins in the 15th-Century when Henry VII moved his court to Richmond Palace for the summer months, allowing nearby Kew Village to flourish. Since 1840 Kew Park has been open to the public and is without a doubt the most impressive London garden. A stunning sanctuary less than 30 minutes from central London, Kew Gardens is easily accessible on the Underground and Overground lines.
