Kew Gardens is beautiful in any season! There is a beautiful children's garden inside, opened in 2019. It is popular in Summer so make sure you reserve a slot online before you go so you don't have to wait around. There are always peaceful parts of the park to have a quiet picnic, as well as gorgeous greenhouses and many places to eat. If you let us know in advance we can leave our member pass for you to use.

Just a 15min walk away, perfect for a stroll or a whole day out. Isabella Plantation is beautiful in Spring, do not miss! Richmond Park feels like you are literally out in the English countryside, sometimes you do not see anyone for so long you forget you're in London.
