"The pagoda in Kew's Royal Botanic Gardens was used during World War II to test the flight of bombs. A hole was cut through its 10 floors and bombs were dropped down the middle."

Looking towards Chiswick and Brentford from Kew Bridge, you can really appreciate the picturesque quality of London's most famous natural landmark....

About Kew

Kew is a place in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in South West London. Kew is best known for being the location of the Royal Botanic Gardens (now a World Heritage Site). Other points of interest include Kew Palace and The National Archives (previously known as the Public Record Office). Kew village refers to several parades of shops adjoining Kew Gardens station. It contains a mixture of independent retailers, several restaurants, including the well-reviewed The Glasshouse, and numerous cafes. Most of Kew developed in the late 19th century, following the arrival of the District Line of the Underground, and is characterised by large detached or semi-detached houses. It is a popular residential area because of its transport links and proximity to Kew Gardens.
