Kew Gardens needs little introduction to fauna fans, thanks to its Bamboo Garden, Rose Garden, rhododendron dell, collection of carnivorous plants, indoor rainforest and 14,000-strong arboretum, to name just a few attractions.
Lavender lovers won't find a full field, but should visit the Great Board Walk Garden, the Duke’s Garden and the Queen’s Garden to catch a glimpse of purple among the rainbow symphony of flowers on display. It's best to visit in July, August or September for your best chance seeing lavender.
Pre-book tickets in advance, and remember that Kew’s various gardens have their own open and closing times. Check the website for full information.
Open until: Year-round
