About
A 132-hectare botanic garden founded in 1759 in southwest London, housing the world's largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections, along with historic listed buildings and glasshouses. It is a World Heritage Site and one of London's top tourist attractions.
The 303 acres of botanical gardens include tree houses, playgrounds, and lakes. Children aged 4+ enjoy exploring the greenhouses and Palm House. The gardens are vast—you can spend a full day here. Combine indoor exhibits (glasshouses) with outdoor wandering. Step-free paths throughout much of the site.
