Explore one of London’s most beautiful attractions and enjoy a traditional English treat with a glass of fizz with this visit to Kew Gardens and Palace with afternoon tea for two. You can make your way around this 326-acre UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring diverse plant life from around the world. Enter glasshouses and explore landscapes as you uncover 250 years of history at one of the world’s most famous gardens. You’ll have access to the Royal Kitchens, Palm House, Rose Garden, The Princess of Wales Conservatory and much more.
Included in your experience is a choice of traditional, vegetarian or gardener’s afternoon tea, including fresh savouries, scones with clotted cream and jam, delicate pastries and a choice of teas at Kew Garden’s Botanical restaurant, with its exceptional views over the Pond and Palm House. A perfect day out for nature and history lovers, with a glass of prosecco each to make it extra special.
On arrival at Kew, you will need to hand in your voucher at the ticket office where you will receive a map with information on what events are arranged for that day so you can plan your visit. You can spend as long as you like in Kew Gardens but don’t forget that you also have access to Kew Palace and are welcome to enjoy a pre-booked afternoon tea in the on-site Botanical restaurant with views over the Pond and Palm House.
You’ll have a choice between a classic, vegetarian or gardener’s afternoon tea, each of which will include a selection of finger sandwiches or savouries, home-made baked scones with Devonshire clotted cream and strawberry jam, delicate tea pastries and a choice of tea from the comprehensive selection plus a glass of prosecco each.
