Kew is London's largest UNESCO World Heritage site offering unique landscapes, vistas and iconic architecture from every stage of the Gardens' history. Our collection of living plants is the largest and most diverse in the world, growing out in the landscape and within our glasshouses and nurseries.

Were lucky enough to visit on 1st Sunday in December when visiting Kew Gardens too. Set in beautiful grounds even on a wintry day, looked inviting. Very welcoming staff. Records room not open but lovely coffee shop & seating area. Fabulous shop where I purchased a couple of extra Christmas gifts. Look forward to returning when in London again hopefully when Records Reading room is open.

6. Kew Palace

Experience the intimate Kew Palace, home of George lll and Queen Charlotte. Explore Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, a rustic country retreat in the grounds of the palace and admire the spectacular view from the Great Pagoda. Kew reflects the personal and domestic life of Georgian kings and queens for much of the 18th century. Today the interior of this tiny atmospheric palace tells the powerful story of George lll, his mental illness and the members of his family who lived and died there.

While visiting the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew for the first time, we were surprise to find Kew Palace within the grounds of the botanic gardens. There is no extra charge to enter the palace once you are within the botanic gardens. However, there are strategically positioned donation boxes within the palace building with signs requesting donations to assist with the upkeep of the palace. The palace building is quite small compared to other British royal palaces we have visited. It is more like a large country house in style, rather than a royal palace. All of the floors of the palace are open to the public and they are accessed by a narrow central staircase. The rooms have nice displays with appropriate period furniture. Information plaques are displayed in each of the rooms providing an insight into royal life within the palace. There are lovely views of the palaces ornate formal garden located to the rear of the palace, available from the upper floors of the palace building. The palace’s kitchen is located in a nearby out-building and it is also open to the public. For us, the Kew Palace was an unexpected gem during our visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. It is one on the “must-see” attractions within the grounds of the botanic gardens!

If you are interested in industrial heritage spots, the Richmond Lock and Footbridge is really nice. It dates back to 1894. You can also go for a little stroll along the Thames path. It is a lovely stretch of the path.

Attended a family funeral in St Andrews Church Ham and it was the most lovely final farewell in an ecumenical service by the amazing Lutheran lady pastor Frau Schaub and a Nigerian catholic priest. This Wonderfully dignified setting in a beautiful old church on its own grounds led to a memorable service with fabulous acoustics for the beautiful violin solo by Anete Graudina.

From Richmond you can follow the Thames Path all the way to Kingston. Very scenic with lots of interest and constantly changing views of the river. There are so many pubs and restaurants near the waterfront by Richmond bridge you are spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink. On summer evenings and especially at weekends it's heaving and can get a bit rowdy though so if you are looking for somewhere quieter you can walk for a few minutes towards Petersham.
