The Riverside Zone

The strip of the Gardens that runs alongside the Thames was not originally part of either Kew Gardens or Richmond Gardens, having been occupied by historic buildings and their gardens.

Near the river is the oldest building at Kew, the 17th century Dutch House, now called Kew Palace, behind which is the small, formal 17th century style Queen's Garden and the Bee Garden.

Three places in the zone are not open to the general public. They are are the Herbarium, the modern Sir Joseph Banks Centre for Economic Botany and the Tropical Nursery Complex.
