Kew Gardens

England 2018, Day 4 – Kew Gardens

Travel / Megan

In which the Temperate House is reopened after five or so years, and we finally make it over to the Princess of Wales Conservatory. My adventures in transport getting either to or from Kew also continued.    This time, there was a fault on the line after Earl’s Court, so we ended up taking a […]
