Getting Around Kew
-
The Gardens are largely flat, with tarmac paths in most places.
-
If you require assistance, please ask a member of staff who will be happy to help.
-
The Gardens are under a flightpath and there are often vehicles and machinery at work in the Gardens and this could cause significant noise.
-
Mobility scooters are available to hire from Brentford and Victoria Gates, and must be booked in advance. Please contact our Visitor Information office on 0208 332 5655 and select the Mobility Scooter option in the automated phone menu or email info@kew.org We advise customers to check availability on Scooters before booking tickets as we have limited availability.
-
All recognised guide, assistance or service dogs – including assistance dogs in training – are welcome in the Gardens. We ask that they are recognisable, with a lead or harness that identifies them as working.
