Really neat. A lot of time had to go into this project. I visited Kew a few years ago but it was in a downpour. Didn't get a chance to appreciate. Does Kew have a 'train' ride for those not able to walk the distance?

I remember coming to the Temperate House to take some cuttings and there was guy in there with the most unusual camera set-up I've ever seen in Kew. Good to see this on the net, great photos and well presented. Pity you guys did'nt get any photos of the nursery areas, they are the real jewels of Kew!

Kew does have a 'train' for those who prefer not to walk or experience rainfall - more specifically the 'Kew Explorer' people mover. But if I were you I'd bring a sturdy brolly and poncho and stick it out in the open - you'll soon forget the wet for all the amazing plants. Should conditions really deteriorate the northern end of the park offers denser tree cover. In any case indoors is arguably just as fascinating as outdoors at Kew. If you do get to see behind the scenes, don't get waylaid by mucky horticulturalists or weird herbarium people - the real jewels of Kew are to be found amongst the Jodrell research staff...

jokes! :oP
