June is Kew at its lush, colourful best. The Great Broad Walk Borders burst into peak bloom, the Rose Garden is fragrant and full, and the Waterlily House shows off giant pads and exotic blooms. Drift from the cool, tropical Palm House to the vast Temperate House, then rise above it all on the Treetop Walkway for leafy views across the grounds. Lawns and meadows are alive with bees, butterflies, and summer wildflowers, while Kew Palace and the royal kitchens add a dash of history. With shady arboretums, peaceful lakes, picnic spots, and inviting cafés for a sunny pause, it’s a perfect early-summer day of glasshouses, gardens, and gentle wandering.
