  • A good place to spend the day. The gardens are so big that I didn't manage to see all, since I arrived there after lunch time, but I loved every moment. From the cafés to the diferent kinds of gardens and the shop it was really lovely. Probably a little bit pricy since we were 2 adults and the ticket doesn't include anything else (not the ride on the little train for e.g.), but I enjoyed every moment.

  • you didn't go to the right playground, there's another in the woods.

  • we were at kew today with 2 kids under 4 - it's not great family for money, they don't allow scooters (annoying the 3 year olds.... making long walks longer for adults) and the description above of the playground makes it sound far fancier than it is - it's just a usual set of slides and swings, nothing more than in a normal london local park. Short walk from overland station, for those wondering.
