Unfortunately unless you are Friends of Kew, Day Ticket visitors or Season ticket holders you now have to pay for the car park, in other words that's National Trust members then. http://www.kew.org/visit-wakehurst/p...arking-charges -- Regards.

Alas, RG has just today come down with a cold (man flu!), so we may not be going until he's better:~(. Nevermind, I could drop a hint to go on my birthday in a few weeks time. I'll miss the magnolias, of course, but there'll still be plenty to see. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

I just looked that up. "First 30 minutes of parking free" What on earth use is that? By the time you've walked from the car park and through the gate it'll be time to leave! -- RG (ah-choo!) |
