Today, let's explore Kew Gardens, also known as the Royal Botanic Gardens. Established in 1975 by the widow of the Prince of Wales, Kew Gardens houses one-seventh of the world's known plant species, approximately 50,000 varieties. If you love flora and greenhouses, this is a must-visit destination.
Transportation Tips: You can save money by taking the tube to Kew Garden Station, which is just a 5-minute walk to the Victoria Gate entrance. The garden is quite expansive, featuring six greenhouses to explore leisurely. It closes at 6 PM, so you can spend an afternoon breathing in the fresh plant scents and strolling alongside the resident ducks. If you're lucky, you might even spot some squirrels.
Tickets are priced at £22 on weekdays (£10 for students) and £24 on weekends (£12 for students). Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate.
