Probably the most famous: Kew
I can only imagine how gorgeous the palms are in that palm house!

I have been there a long time ago. So long in fact i still had hair on my head :lol: I tend to steer clear of London these days. Even when I travel abroad I use Birmingham Airport rather than the London Airports. The European Palm Society usually have an annual visit there so I may go on the next meet.
