Visiting one of London’s most iconic landmarks
If you are looking to get away from the bustling London life for some TLC, then make a stop at Kew Gardens. This beautiful garden was founded by Princess Augusta, mother of King George III, as a haven to get away from the pressures of royal life. Today, it is considered a global scientific institution for studying plant life. First, go to the Great Pagoda, which was constructed by Scottish architect William Chambers as a gift to Princess Augusta. Climb those staggering 253 steps to get to the top for a spectacular view of London. Then, move on to the Temperate House, home to some of the world’s rarest plants such as the climbing shrub and feather-leaved banksia.
A chance to get to know Mother Nature better
But that’s not all. Walk on the Treetop Walkway to soothe your soul and get a special view of various trees and fauna thriving in the Gardens. But a trip to Kew Gardens is impossible without visiting Kew Palace, a Dutch-gabled building situated on the banks of the river Thames and once home to King George III and his family. Don’t forget to check out Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, a quick retreat where she hosted family tea and afternoon picnics.
