Not many people go to Kew for the right reason. You can tell the ones who do. They look serious and enquiring, and keep writing things down in notebooks.
Most people go to Kew simply because it is an extraordinarily beautiful place, not because they are serious botanists.
The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew are a 25 minute tube ride from the centre of London. They cover 300 acres and contain the largest collection of living plants in the world, more than 45,000 species.
Groups of friends picnic on the deep green lawns at the foot of exotic trees and sumptuous rhododendron bushes, watching ducks and swans on the placeful lake.
There are stunningly beautiful glasshouses. There is an eighteenth century orangery. And there is a Chinese pagoda, built in 1761, which is 50 metres high.
