Stroll Through Kew Gardens
A visit to Kew Gardens is a must in summer. The world-famous gardens are alive with colour, from rose gardens in full bloom to shady woodland walks. Pack your camera, take a leisurely stroll, and soak up the beauty of nature at its best.
Riverside Walks Along the Thames
Kew is perfectly positioned by the River Thames, making it a great starting point for scenic riverside walks. Head towards Richmond for leafy views and wildlife spotting, or wander across Kew Bridge towards Chiswick for a more urban riverside vibe. It’s the ideal way to spend a summer afternoon.
