From rare tropical species to beautifully curated landscapes, Kew offers a peaceful escape where nature, science, and history come together.

Lined with hundreds of richly detailed paintings, the gallery captures plant life from around the globe exactly as North encountered it on her travels. Blending art and science, this remarkable collection offers a rare glimpse into 19th-century exploration and the beauty of the natural world.

The Great Pagoda
A striking 10-storey ornamental tower located within Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London. Built in 1762 for Princess Augusta, it was inspired by Chinese architecture and reflects the 18th-century European fascination with “exotic” design.

Home to an extraordinary collection of rare and threatened plants from temperate regions, this beautifully restored structure showcases species from Africa, Australia, the Americas, and beyond. As you wander through its light-filled spaces, you’ll discover both the beauty and fragility of plant life on a global scale.

Palm House
The Palm House is one of the most iconic glasshouses within the Royal Botanic Gardens. Built in the 1840s, it is a remarkable example of Victorian iron-and-glass architecture and was one of the first large-scale structures to use wrought iron in this way.

The Hive
The immersive world of The Hive, a remarkable multi-sensory installation inspired by the life of bees. This towering lattice structure lights up and hums in response to real-time activity from a nearby beehive, offering a unique glimpse into the hidden rhythms of pollination. As you walk beneath it, you’ll experience the vital connection between plants and pollinators in a truly unforgettable way.
