Kew is a lovely leafy part of southwest London. It is famous for its stunning Botanical Gardens, which attract around a million visitors each year, and are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

After you have visited the gardens, have a browse in Kew Village, take a walk by the river or relax for a while on Kew Green….or in one of the pubs nearby ; )

Nice views of Kew Gardens Sue. Matter of fact, I am going to Westbury Gardens today. I just love flowers, dont you? Especially well cultivated and wild ones.

A lovely little page Sue, with a pleasing emphasis on food! La Cuisine sounds great, and only just down the road - I MUST try it! Your flower photos are so pretty too. Sarah x
