Top Photography Spots at Kew Gardens

Lush with dense vegetation, the Palm House was built between 1844 and 1848 and is still at the heart of the Gardens. It's home to some of our most treasured plants, many of which are endangered in the wild and some even extinct. It offers a hot and humid environment for tropical plants to flourish, and is the perfect place to photograph an array of green tones and textures. It looks best on a sunny day when shafts of light shine through the humid air, adding an air of mystery to your snaps. Be warned, your lens may fog up with the temperature change so give your camera time to adjust
