Family Day Out in Kew: Gardens, Riverside & Pub Dining
Looking for the perfect family day out in London? Kew is a wonderful choice. With world-famous gardens, riverside walks, and plenty of family-friendly places to eat, it’s a destination that both adults and kids can enjoy. Here’s how to make the most of your family adventure in Kew.
Morning at Kew Gardens
Start your day at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Children will love exploring the huge glasshouses, spotting exotic plants, and running across the open lawns.
Don’t miss:
- The Children’s Garden – a dedicated play space for younger visitors with climbing frames, water features, and sensory zones.
- The Hive – a unique installation where kids can step inside a giant beehive structure and learn about pollination.
- Treetop Walkway – safe and exciting, giving families a bird’s-eye view of the gardens.
Picnic or Riverside Stroll
If the sun is shining, pack a picnic and enjoy it on Kew Green, where kids can play while you relax with a coffee. Or, head down to the River Thames for a gentle family walk — pushchair friendly and perfect for feeding the ducks or simply watching boats drift by.
Afternoon Treats & Dining
After exploring, it’s time for some well-earned food. At The Greyhound Kew, we pride ourselves on being family-friendly. Our menu offers something for everyone, from seasonal dishes and comforting classics to tasty children’s portions.
Parents can unwind with a glass of wine or craft ale while the little ones enjoy a hearty meal in a welcoming atmosphere.
