The 125th Anniversary Vintage Bus Tour

Kew Society Members had a wonderful day celebrating 125 years of the Kew Society on a vintage bus tour of west London.

It was such a joy to see so many familiar faces, everyone making the effort to dress up and bring a little piece of Kew’s history to life. The bus tour was full of laughter, stories and a real sense of community, one of those days that reminds you how special Kew is.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made it happen. Your time, dedication and hard work behind the scenes don’t go unnoticed, and this celebration simply wouldn’t have been possible without you.

A Vintage Day OutHere’s to 125 years of caring for Kew and bringing people together, and to many more to come.
