Summer is here, so come with us on our brand new self-guided walk around Kew

Whether you live here or are visiting, this guided walk with audio commentary, will take you on a hour's stroll from Kew village. The walk takes you to the magnificent Kew Green, the grand entrances to the Royal Botanic Gardens, passing King Henry VIII's favourite cakes via the River Thames and the National Archive. So please join us as we show you some of the things that make this one of the most special places in London.
