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.

 

Please note that buggies are not permitted in the Princess of Wales Conservatory during Orchids.

 

Day Trip Departures

 

Timetable

• Our timetables are unique. Bookings are taken throughout the year, approx. one month prior to travel we release the balance reminders and your final itinerary, including your pickup times. This allows us to ensure our pickup routes are kept to a minimum and our days run exactly to time.

• Commonly pickups start between 7.45am and 09.00am. We like to arrive at our destinations for approx. 11am.

• Commonly our departures from venues are between 4-5pm. Allowing us to return to our first drop off between 6-7pm.

• Please note, occasionally we use a feeder coach along our pickup routes to accommodate booking requests and keep our main coach pickup route to a minimum.

• Terms and Conditions can be found on our website or copies supplied upon request.
