Kew Green is a traditional village green near the river. It has a duck pond which is thought to have been a horse pond used by the royal visitors when they came to Kew. The impressive building of St Anne’s dominates the green and is the burial place of several artists and important botanists. But most importantly, it is the burial place of the great English artist Thomas Gainsborough who received several royal commissions from King George III. Cricket is still played on the green in summer, and here it is still possible to gain a sense of Kew as a bustling village rather than part of the London suburbs.

The Thames at Kew
It is lovely to follow the Thames along the towpath in Kew. From Kew Bridge you can walk upstream towards Mortlake, passing behind the National Archives. This is a tranquil part of the river and you would be forgiven for forgetting that you are in the capital. You could also go to Kew Gardens Pier where you can catch a river bus or a tourist ferry and let yourself be taken slowly up the Thames in much the same way that the Royal visitors to Kew were.
