Kew: Royal Botanical Gardens
Description
The gardens trace their history back to 1759 and consequently the gardens have grown into one of the worlds largest and most biologically diverse gardens in the world. Set alongside the river Thames, and occupying a site of about 330 acres the gardens include multiple greenhouses and conservatories, as well as themed gardens, a tree-top walkway, a Pagoda and even some small royal palaces. No matter what time of year you visit the gardens there is always a lot to see, though in December dressed up for the chill outside the tropical greenhouses can be a bit much!
