Item 81: Kew Gardens

Location: Kew Gardens, London

With a 'heat-wave' passing through the UK, the manicured flower beds of Kew Gardens charge an entry of £13.90 and welcome you to enjoy the equivalent of most other London parks. More positively the pricing barrier weeds out the drunken chavs in their bikini's trying to soak up the bonus summer waves of April.

Inside there's the tree top walk which is a disappointing rusty circuit on a raised landing in the middle of the complex, with less than spectacular views.

There's also a depleting Japanese pagoda, with children running circles around, but a good focal point from afar and complementing the cherry blossom trees that line the pathway. The Palm House is a green house containing plants from exotic places including Australia. It's contructed of iron and glass and the insides remind me of rusty bathroom pipes.

Nonetheless, with the weather lifting the spirits of the sun deprived Londoners, a whole day roaming through the greenery listening to the aeroplanes fly pass on their way to Heathrow Airport, it's a day all about the 'serenity'.
