The 18 best shows in Kew

The autumn colours at Kew are simply spectacular and worth the visit alone. The foliage was at its peak, and the landscape was incredibly beautiful. Do dress warmly though, as it gets cold in the late afternoon. One drawback for evening visitors: the shop closes considerably earlier than the advertised time. Staff began asking people to leave at 5:40 PM, and the shop was completely closed by 5:50 PM. So, if you're counting on buying gifts at the end of your trip, make sure you visit the shop with plenty of time to spare.

We visited here for the first time ever last weekend, despite our Daughter living in London. We bought tickets online so that upon arrival they were promptly scanned, no queue whatsoever. Where do I start, the gardens are stunning and the place is so vast. We walked around the perimeter path to start, then we walked everywhere, the large glass houses and conservatories are amazing, there is so much to see. Amenities are great, lots of choices for food, we ate at a Orangery restaurant in the grounds under the grape vines (al fresco dining) the food was amazing, where a main with drinks was only £66 for 3 adults. These gardens are predominantly wheelchair accessible too. We thoroughly enjoyed the Treetop Walkway (which has a lift and stairs) so pushchair users were also able to go up, the views were fantastic. The day was warm, so there were families enjoying picnics in the relaxing grounds. Prepare to sieve a whole day, and for the entrance fee considering this is London, we found the prices to be very reasonable indeed. There is just so much for the whole family. Facilities are extremely good too, with accessible toilets, changing places toilet, baby feeding room, baby change, shop, cafe, information, and water fountains throughout the gardens, there is also a prayer/reflections room, and finally a bus stop. Visiting is a must.

It is one of the most famous and important gardens in the world. It is a historic landscape garden in southwest London, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Charles Darwin’s contributed to Kew Gardens significantly, mainly because Kew houses a large part of the plant specimens he collected during his famous voyage aboard the HMS Beagle from 1831 to 1836. Around 450 of the approximately 1,400 plant specimens Darwin gathered are preserved at Kew, with these collections still actively studied and digitized. Great experience with really a lot of different impressions: - areas with plants from all over the world - treetop walkway Kew Gardens is renowned for its extraordinary glasshouses, which house diverse plant collections from across the globe. The key glasshouses include: - The Palm House: Built between 1844 and 1848, the Palm House is one of the most iconic Victorian glasshouses. It features a tropical rainforest environment and hosts many rare and endangered tropical plants, including the oldest potted plant in the world, - Temperate House: The largest Victorian glasshouse in the world, the Temperate House houses around 10,000 plants of 1,500 species from regions including Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. - Water Lily House: Built in 1852 and designed by the same architect and ironmaker as the Palm House, the Water Lily House shelters aquatic plants including tropical water lilies. - King George III‘s house King George III’s house in Kew Gardens is known as Kew Palace, also called the Dutch House. Originally built in 1631 as a silk merchant’s mansion, it became the smallest royal palace and served as the summer home of King George III in the 18th century. George III and his wife Queen Charlotte spent many happy summers there with their large family. The palace and its gardens provided a private, intimate retreat from public life, where the king could live more normally without the usual royal ceremony. Really a great experience and you have to plan enough time - or even several visits.

My new favorite place in London. No matter the season, it’s always beautiful and full of life, with so much space to explore and unwind. My personal favorite is the Princess of Wales Conservatory, where you get to see stunning orchids and unusual plant species. It brought out my inner child who loves water, tropical fish, and that feeling of quiet wonder.

This is an amazing place you must visit if you like being outdoors. Let your children run in the park. And if you are interested in seeing up close some exotic plants you will be really surprised at the number of different plants. There are so many plans you can see so don’t miss the Lillypond and Princess Diane‘s cactus place. Visit the beehive or have a picnic in the picnic area.

Visited during bank holiday! Perfect weather! Blazing hot sun but that’s fine as there’s loads of places to find and hitch under shade. The park is well kept and looks fantastic. We must’ve walked around for 5-6 hours. The park is really amazing. I took a trolley with me loaded with blankets and food and stuff which was great as there’s no restrictions on that. The family and kids loved the day out here definitely will be back for Christmas lights!

Absolutely wonderful day out for the entire family, absolutely huge variety of plant life to enjoy! It's all extremely well looked after and all of the staff are so wonderful and well informed! Loads of toilets around and a nice selection of cafés to enjoy! If your deep in to your plants you could easily kill an entire day here!

Very hot and humid (especially on a hot day) - ensure some level of physical fitness and hydration. There is an elevated walkway inside that is cool but extremely warm. Stairs only. No wait, free to enter

Stunning old glass house showcasing plants from different continents. The spiral staircase to access the balcony is tight, but easy to climb as a one way system is in place, with a second staircase to descend. Great views !!

The Palm House is an incredible example of Victorian architecture, with unique cultural and scientific significance.
It is a living tropical museum that houses some of the world’s most endangered species. Built from wrought iron and glass, the structure was designed between 1844 and 1848. It resembles an upside down ship, measuring 110 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 19 meters high. This special shape allows sunlight to shine directly onto the tropical plants ,essential for their growth. Inside, the temperature replicates that of tropical rainforests, constantly maintained between 18°C and 28°C, with very high humidity. The Palm House was restored between 1984 and 1988, with many improvements to ensure the preservation of both the structure and the plants. There is also a walkway from which visitors can admire the plants and their enormous leaves from above. The Palm House is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living archive of tropical biodiversity of international importance,perfect for educational programs dedicated to plant science.
Absolutely recommended, to be admired in total silence.

Explore this remarkable indoor rainforest and discover tropical plants from some of the most threatened environments in the world. Travel to the depths of the rainforest inside the Palm House, where the air is heavy and dense with lush vegetation. Wander through and you’ll discover rainforest treasures like the oldest pot plant in the world or the disease-fighting periwinkle. Many plants in this collection are endangered in the wild, some even extinct. Others – like the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), or cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao) – are a source of huge value to societies around the world for the fruit, timber, spices or medicine they produce. Rainforest plants cover only 2% of the world’s surface but make up 50% of species – vital to sustaining life on earth. Kew scientists rely on the Palm House collection for research into medicine and sustainable cropping. A living laboratory dedicated to the Earth’s tropical regions, the Palm House is a chance to glimpse the magic of the rainforest for yourself.

The palm house was very impressive. It’s very large to house the palm trees. It is one of the humid areas. Easy to walk through.

The Palm House at Kew Gardens was beautiful and impressive, like stepping into a tropical world. Definitely worth a visit.

It was stunning but OMG it was SO hot!! 🥵 about 37degs when you are at the top balcony it’s very hot we were in and out in 5 minutes but I’d love to come back here in winter when it’s cold so I can appreciate the warmth in there haha. Absolutely stunning scenery inside and out loved learning about the plants and flowers and trees. You can visit this for £10 if you go after 4pm and the houses normally close at 5pm. Well worth it.

It's like stepping back in time to see how the royal family was living daily. The first 2 floors are very well preserved: the beds, the piano, the table where the meals were served. The last floor, on the other hand, has not been preserved at all. But the ambiance makes you feel the sadness of the family's decline.

Beautiful palace with lots of interesting architecture and decoration. Self guided tour around the rooms . The guided tour of the kitchen. Building is brilliant too !!

Lovely views, was there for 5 hours and didn't see half of ot, so really need to spend a full day, or get membership so you can come another time.

Free entry- worth a visit! staff were friendly and helpful. No elevators (stairs only), however well preserved/presented and a very interesting walk around.

Kew Palace is a fascinating and often overlooked royal residence that sits within the beautiful grounds of Kew Gardens. Steeped in history, this modest yet charming red-brick building was once the retreat of King George III and Queen Charlotte, offering a rare glimpse into the private lives of the British royal family in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Originally built in 1631 by a wealthy silk merchant, the palace was later acquired by the royal family. Its most significant period of use was during the reign of George III, especially during his bouts of illness. The intimate setting of the palace, with its preserved Georgian interiors, brings visitors closer to royal domestic life than the grand halls of other palaces allow. Inside, you’ll find beautifully restored rooms, personal artifacts, and detailed exhibits that tell stories of both royalty and caretakers. The Queen’s Boudoir and the top-floor servants’ quarters are particularly atmospheric. The entry is included with admission to Kew Gardens. Don’t miss the Royal Kitchens, just a short walk from the main house, preserved almost exactly as they were over 200 years ago. The palace is only open seasonally, usually from April to late September. The audio guides and information panels are available in several languages. In short, Kew Palace is a must-visit for anyone interested in royal history, Georgian architecture, or quiet moments of the British monarchy.

Nice little palace in the middle of the beautiful Kew gardens. Definitely worth visit while in the gardens , got its own little garden as well.

You have to pay for a ticket to the Kew Botanical Gardens to gain access to this home. It's certainly worth a visit, the story that is contained inside that house is very interesting and worth the visit.

Incredibly informative historical landmark with great 360° views of Kew Gardens and South London! Worth every penny, but be prepared for 253 steps! Thankfully there are benches scattered across each floor to rest. Booked tickets online and originally missed our slot, but as it was a quiet day we were able to join the next time slot.

Bookable half hour slots, a steady 5 min climb up all those stairs for fantastic views. Benches if needed, an open window at the top gave a lovely cooling breeze! The staff are dressed for the era and happy to answer all questions. Benches nearby, worth the money and the climb 👍 some interesting things on the ground floor too

Beautiful looking pagoda with a lot of rich history. The walk on Pagoda way gives the most exquisite approach to this monument. Half the appeal is just that. Feels like you’re exploring in a video game. The tour itself was fine. You don’t get to step out on the balconies. So it’s just more of a climb but you do get a good view from the top of the path leading up. So good to get the other perspective. It’s about 250 steps so go up with caution!

Great Pagoda Enjoy spectacular views across London from the heights of the Great Pagoda. Following a major restoration project, you can now reach the heights of the Great Pagoda and marvel at spectacular views across London. Kew’s Pagoda was completed in 1762 as a gift for Princess Augusta, the founder of the Gardens. It was one of several Chinese buildings designed for Kew by Sir William Chambers, who had spent time travelling and studying the architecture of East Asia. A popular ‘folly’ of the age, it offered one of the earliest and finest bird’s eye views of London – which you can enjoy today.

Beautiful intricately decorated structure, easy to find !! Well worth the climb to the top for stunning views of the surrounding area.

If you are on universal credit the tickets are 1 pound per person and you can get up to 6 tickets eally amamazing good value for money

Your ticket gives 30 minutes to go to and down the 8 floors in the pagoda. Every other floor has benches for resting. Tickets can only be paid for with a credit card as they do not take cash. The easiest way to get there is via the trolley which boards at Victoria Cafe.

I never knew lily pads could get so huge! This was a very impressive greenhouse. It’s small but don’t skip it!

If there is one attraction you must visit in Kew gardens, it's easily this waterlily house. I first confused this with the waterlily pond but this is a green house filled with gorgeous tropical plants and water lilies in the middle. These water lilies have been botanically put together just for Kew gardens. They are huge, they are colourful and they are stunning. You will not want to miss these. This greenhouse can get quite crowded. The path around the lilies is pretty narrow but I did manage to get around with a buggy so there is enough space as long as you preserve.

One of my favourite spots in Kew Gardens. It's worth noting that this area is only open seasonally, so it's not accessible all year round—definitely something to keep in mind when planning your visit. The highlight here is the stunning Victoria amazonica water lilies, which are especially impressive in August. If you’re lucky, you might even catch one in bloom—but be quick! The flowers only last for a single day, making the experience feel even more special and fleeting. On the side, there are also Mimosa pudica plants—commonly known as the "sensitive plant"—which are always a hit with children. The way their leaves fold up when touched adds a fun, interactive element that kids (and adults!) really enjoy. All in all, it’s a magical little corner of Kew that offers both botanical wonder and playful charm. A must-see if you’re visiting during the right season.

Small warehouse but definitely worth to see! My favourite warehouse among the four. Giant lotus leaf, crazy!!

My favorite place in Kew Gardens. It is really humid and warm, so be warned. But it is totally worth it! The water lilies are beautiful and they also have a nice collection of passionflowers.

Waterlily House is a small, but charming greenhouse Kew Gardens. Inside there is a pond of about 15 metres in diameter containing as the name of the glasshouse suggests, waterlilies, but also lotus, ferns, papyrus and others that I've got no chance of identifying. The pond is surrounded by a perimeter of maybe half a metre wide to walk around and the pat is covered with all sorts of plants hanging from the ceiling. Everything looks so perfect, you'll have no trouble finding a postcard picture perfect photo.

Stunning waterlilies, as you expect from the name !!

Stunning views from atop this walkway. LOTS of steps up to access, or take the elevator. Buggy park at the bottom as space is tight, but well worth the climb !!

A good climb (lift for pushchairs, those who cannot climb all the steps!) to be high amongst the trees. A good fence all the way round with information leaves, good views in certain areas, lovely to be so high, nice circular walk

Amazing addition to Kew Gardens. Lots of steps. Great view from the top. Lift wasn’t working but no problem.

Lovely place! Came for the treetop walkway, stayed for the entire Kew Gardens! 5.5 years in the UK and I wonder why I haven't done this earlier haha... honestly, adorable! Treetop experience is a nice touch to the entire garden experience 🤍

Really nice spot. The Treetop Walkway gives great views over Kew and feels solid underfoot. We went on a weekday morning and didn’t have to wait at all. Lovely in autumn with all the colours around. Probably worth booking ahead if you’re going at the weekend though.

Really wish the lift was working and that the walkway was a little longer, but a lovely feature in the garden.

A different angle to see parts of the gardens. Generally around tree-top height. Not great for people with vertigo, but great otherwise. Don't expect world defining views of the London skyline, but at least see things from a different perspective. Older vistors or people with kids may struggle with the stairs

Travel from the deserts to the tropics with a trip through this glassy wonderland. With ten computer-controlled climate zones, the Princess of Wales Conservatory is a glassy labyrinth leading you through a series of fascinating ecosystems.

This greenhouse has a couple different climates, one is pretty humid so I walked quick through and probably missed some things. There is a nice collection of exotic plants with easy to walk paths through it.

The Princess of Wales Conservatory is an area featuring ten different climate zones, each perfectly controlled by computers.
Construction of this incredible greenhouse began in 1982 and it was inaugurated by Lady Diana, Princess of Wales in fact, it was named in her honor.
Part of the structure is built underground, and it is highly complex, containing ten distinct climate zones ranging from arid deserts to tropical rainforests. From cacti to tropical orchids, you can also admire numerous water lilies, especially the Victoria, a giant Bolivian water lily, and an amazing section dedicated to carnivorous plants ,a true wonder of nature. With around 10,000 plants, it’s a truly fascinating world, cared for in every detail. Compliments to the entire staff. Absolutely a spectacle to see and experience it will completely captivate you.
Highly recommended.

Beautiful plants and flowers with intense, vibrant colors. Amazing cacti in various forms.

Superb glass house containing lots of beautiful plants and flowers. Can be a bit of a maze to explore, but this adds to the experience !!

This place is tremendous. Designed so that there are multiple paths and directions to take, rather than a linear route. This means one can easily wander around for a while, with a sense of discovery or even “adventure” (真可謂一步一景). The different climate zones provide interesting contrasts, and the flora are consistently beautiful.

Massive and quite a maze! Certain rooms can be very hot and humid (thick air) so ensure adequate hydration and physical fitness! Lots of interesting plants from different biomes

A great lovely station with still the original building. There is even a pub, with an entrance to the platform, as part of the main station building. The proximity is very close to the national archives in Kew and is easily reached on foot. The station is served by the Mildmay line to Willesden Junction and Stratford, and the district line to Earl's Court, Westminster, and the East of London. Trains are frequent and every 6-8 mins roughly. It's a pretty little station which is worth a visit.

There is so much to see here that we didn't get to do it all. There is a lot of walking and I'm pleased we wore comfortable shoes. We paid extra to climb the pagoda, which has 200+ steps and a stunning view -- look out for the quirky automata scenes downstairs. The treetop walk was also worthwhile. I would like to come back in the autumn, at bluebell time and at camelia time.

This is a massive park, a bit like other London parks, but with glasshouses full of plants and other outdoor gardens. Not sure what I expected but I was a bit disappointed. Probably expected more information on the plants and better maintained flower beds. The food places were OK but gluten free options were very limited. I found no sandwiches. The salad option didn't look very good and had no meat or fish options. The hot food had a not great looking chicken leg or vegetable curry. The curry was nice but a meat option would have been better. The place is huge so it must need an awful lot of carbon dioxide to keep it green and healthy.

Nice station with a lot of facilities. Toilets available at platform. A nice coffee shop just add next to it. A news agent shop. Both platforms are well shed for bad weather as it was raining when I been there. Good staff and very helpful when I ask for some directions. Lovely location as this station is few minutes walk from Kew Gardens which is the best place to visit if you are nature lover because it’s one of the world’s best botanical garden.

A great big green space, hard to believe you're still in London. The tropical glass house is enormous, and it's great to be able to climb up and walk above the canopy. It was a shame, though, that we were turfed out at 3pm so that they can reopen for Christmas At Kew an hour later.

Absolutely amazing place! Beautiful enviroment! Amazing plants and Incredible trees! Really nice botanic garden! We saw lots of interesting plants! Park is clean and tidy!!! The coffee shop at the main entrance is really nice! You Can buy good gifts and flowers!!absolutely recommend! Expext the food in the park! Too expensive and not worth it! Fries taste like fish -too oily and old! Sausage is cheap version! And rude Staff !so better if You take sandwich with You! But the park is Great!!!!:)

Lovely station, well maintained. A fine example of mid-Victorian railway architecture. Alight at this station for Kew Gardens about 6min walk to the Kew Gardens Victoria Gate entrance. Located at the end of Station Parade next to shops, cafés and restaurants. There’s also a fab bookshop and a butcher doing handmade sausages. But check out the pub(next to the train platforms, real handy!) – this one is a favourite with commuters travelling into the City. There is car parking at the station forecourt, also a bicycle park. If coming from the south side take the Kew Gardens station footbridge. Please note: there are no lifts at this station.

This greenhouse is small but designed for give plants more natural dry, windy and hot atmosphere to bloom and flourish them all round year.

The world of extreme survivors! The Davies Alpine House was opened in 2006, the third version since 1887. This greenhouse is not large, only 16 meters long and 10 meters high, but it is ultra-modern. Good ventilation, special glass that allows 90% of the ultraviolet light to pass through and a temperature that does not exceed 20° C, all measures that make alpine plants (plants that grow in the polar regions or above the tree line, and therefore the best survivors of the plant world) have to protect. The Davies Alpine House is small, but certainly no less interesting!

Beautiful rockery specimen as well as spring scented ones. Very peaceful , open and well aerated. For a Thursday afternoon it was very quiet. The space outside the Alpine house at the moment with all the planted high grasses is gorgeous, left uncut after the summer and all in beautiful shades of golden colours. Well worth the visit in that part of the garden.

If there was such a thing as a low point in Kew, for me this would be it. Architecturally, the building itself outshines it’s contents. It’s a little bit small and I didn’t think the plants inside it were particularly engaging, perhaps it was off season though.

Love the Davies Alpine House and the Kew Gardeners do an amazing job in there. I am a Friend of Kew so sometimes get the benefits of getting in there early just after they have watered and all the Alpine plants are so fresh and nice

Always beautiful displays all year round. Colourful and enjoyable. A joy always.

The plants are always different each time I go in. Some beautiful flowers on display!

Truly unique venue! So classy and breathtaking the art work is impeccable! The old word charm of this building sets an impressive stage…just add outstanding friends and family and you are sure to have a great night.

What a wonderful experience it is to visit this art gallery. It is filled with breathtaking paintings of landscapes around the world. It is completely free to visit this place if you have entered kew gardens.

For those who, like me, have never heard of her, Marianne North was an artist, who travelled the world at the end of the 19th century, recording in botanical drawings, the native flora she observed. Her work is prolific, beautiful and scientifically invaluable. She was the first European to record the Red Hot Poker plant. All this is sufficient, but then consider that she was a woman travelling in Victorian female clothes and her achievement becomes even more extraordinary. Kew have displayed her work (including a vast array of different types of wood from all over the world) beautifully; the building itself is a work of art. Well worth a visit.

This is one of the most outstanding galleries on Earth. There are few places you can visit where you can say, without reservation, that you have seen something that is unique. Marianne North's work is exemplary in any setting, but the way it is presented within Kew is astonishing. The gallery is simultaneously informative, beautiful and inspiring. Kew as a whole is brilliant but this is worth the journey alone.

Wonderful Gallery within the grounds of Kew Gardens. The sheer volume of paintings, floor to ceiling, is a sight to behold. It is categorised into regions to present a narrative of the exotic places that Marianne North travelled to. Each painting has character and provides a fascinating insight into flora and fauna from around the world.

Incredible gallery. Photos aren’t allowed of the paintings, but you can sit and draw. It’s breathtaking. Well worth visiting.

This gallery exhibits the botanical art of Marianne North, an English biologist and botanical artist who's prolific output can be seen here. The gallery is literally pack with her output, paintings display side by side virtually cover every inch of the walls. Some of the paintings are wonderfully detailed as she documented plant life wherever she visits the world. Personally, the standout painting is of Nepenthes Northiana, ironically named after Marianne North, which shows the both the plant's lower and an upper pitcher. It's a pity photography is not allowed.

A delightful local. Very friendly staff and feels like you are being welcomed as part of the family. Have been to others in the area with far more acclaim such as Riva in barnes, and this was a far better experience hands down. From food, to atmosphere, to value. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for an authentic Italian.

We have been frequenting this establishment for the last thirty years. Leo, Rosa and Jo have become dear friends . Food is consistently good with a home made touch. Dining al fresco here is just like being in Italy.

Fantastic! We had a beautiful anniversary celebration in here. Grilled aubergine is amazing. Definitely will come back again!

My family have been going here for years, since I was a kid. I had my wedding reception here. The food is amazing! Leonardo & Rosa have always been so welcoming and the wine selection is great. I look forward to bringing my children here.

3rd or 4th visit, food is average at the very best. Small portions, not cheap and rather bland. Dessert was a wet, sloppy rather nasty half baked cake with a meringue topping🤮

This restaurant is absolutely a hidden gem. Leonardo and Rosa are very hospitable; Leonardo greated us and took my coat. He is up for a laugh and very respectable. Their family have 5 businesses on Upper Richmond Road. Rosa’s authentic Italian food is spectacular for the price, as is the intimate setting; it is a small restaurant, perfect for a couple or a group of friends out celebrating. It’s a very fine and cosy atmsophere, rather fancy, and somewhere I’d go on occassion. It is my favourite restaurant I’ve ever been to, because of how warm Leonardo and Rosa make it; their friendliness makes it feel like you are dining in their lovely home, and there is a wall of fame where you can see photos of VIPs have visited.

Authentic Italian cuisine, family owned business with Rosa in the kitchen adding her personal touch to the family recipes. A legendary restaurant visited by politicians and royalty.

Great day out with wide variety of trees and plants. Glass houses are stunning, but beware the heat and humidity in the Palm House, on the upper walkway.

A place of beauty through all four seasons, where you can enjoy water activities, vibrant pubs and cafés, and breathtaking sunsets. Close to Kew Gardens, it’s also perfect to visit together. The riverside walkway beneath the bridge is especially charming.

The bridge has good foot path on both sides wide enough for tourists to stand and have fantastic view of the river's beauty. Birds and ducks play at the little swampy sides near the end of the bridge. Fantastic view.

Kew Green Beautiful church Great place to get an ice cream from the van Next to the Elizabeth entrance Lovely walk along the river Jayshree has an amazing convenience store

It is important to learn to take care of our environment and to raise awareness.

Amazing early morning walk across the bridge

I come to kew station sometimes and love the cafes nearby— the one directly adjacent to the station for example— very pretty bridge and of course, Kew Gardens is a delight any time of the year.

Great installation here at Kew Gardens with sound. It’s a good place for a sit down and chill out but you will find in Kew Gardens there is many other wonderful places which in my option is far more superior to this exhibit. It is worth the visit nevertheless.

Superb immersive installation within Kew !! Stand inside and be surrounded with music and light .. and must experience whilst visiting the gardens .

The Hive is a very unique sight to see and a major tourist attraction within Kew Gardens. It is located near the Princess of Wales Conservatory, where the orchid festival is usually held. You will find it much more convenient to take advantage of this installation during weekdays, because there are fewer visitors. Also, the view from atop is splendid, and I recommend bringing a camera because it is worth it.

So beautiful. Kids loved playing here. Even more beautiful at night because of lights.

It is an interesting place with a wonderful story behind it. The construction is very special as if the architect was a spider, although it is not related to him. It is actually about a small and industrious creature that produces the honey - the bee. It's about how they communicate through vibration. Besides, this is what The Hive is trying to reproduce - the sound and vibrations through which bees communicate, and the dozens or sounds of lights. At night I think it would be spectacular. 🙂 If you're still there, it's worth a visit.

The Hive - interesting installation that looks great after sunset when the lights are on

An excellent installation. Become immersed as you walk under and inside this intricate sculpture imitating a bee hive. Asides from the visuals, there are also lights and sound that help set the atmosphere. Really enjoyed viewing this from within and from the ground looking up.

paid for parking via the app, and parked in a parking bay that had no restrictions/signs stating reserved. came back to receive a penalty ticket, appealed but initially declined because I didn't have a valid ticket displayed. How can you display a ticket when you are asked to pay online. Car park itself is nice, and secure. Eventually the penalty was dropped after providing evidence and explaining the reasons.

WARNING... avoid, as you can get a ticket by simply driving through or in/out. In addition cars are regularly broken into too.

Do not park here unless you want your car broken into. Plus the car park conveniently takes no responsibility at all & why should they? They only charge you to be there after all - stay away

Cars ( not only ours) broken into. Looked like set up as there was an event in Kew Gardens and they knew people will not come back. Phone provided did not answer as well so no help from the management. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Paid for 18 hours parking and got issued with penalty notice after 6 hours. Absolute disgrace. No way of contacting issuers to resolve either. Illegal practices here DONT USE THIS CAR PARK

Parked there tonight. Car got broken into and bag with valuables stolen. There is no number online at all to contact the car park - DO NOT PARK HERE!

Charged a parking fine, despite paying extortionate prices for hourly parking. Absolutely avoid unless you're desperate.

The staff are so friendly and helpful, and not at all pushy. I bought some beautiful pieces here, and they stock quality brands, so will be visiting again. Thank you :)

I love the selection of quirky and classic clothes choice available in this beautiful shop. Amazing staff who are always helpful and help piece together gorgeous outfits for any occasion. I can't rate this boutique highly enough for its selection of clothes and its exceptional friendly staff. Will be back again and again and again.

March is an absolute gem of a shop! From the moment I stepped in, I was enchanted by its charming ambiance and unique selection. The curated items reflect a perfect blend of quality and style. The friendly staff adds a warm touch to the shopping experience, always ready to assist with a smile. Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a little something for yourself, March is the place to discover hidden treasures. I can't recommend it enough.

March is a unique clothing boutique and a gem find in Richmond, surrey. Their customer service and collection for clothing is amazing and a must visit for anyone looking for latest fashion trends and top quality collection.

My absolute FAVOURITE place for really quality clothes. This boutique is honestly the best place to find the key pieces for your wardrobe. Their edit is so good you don't need to shop anywhere else. A super mix of classic items, on trend, that will stand the test of time. The owner and staff are so helpful and great in suggesting what works for you. Cannot recommend this boutique enough!!

Amazing boutique - the edit and brands are gorgeous, the staff know the clothes so well. Don’t think I’m able to shop anywhere else now!

First time to the store today and couldn't believe what lovely and creative clothes one can find there, a real treat for Richmond! Thanks Sylvia and Lisa for your friendly service and help, you made me feel very comfortable!
