Christmas at Kew

Christmas is here! Time to get the tree out, deck the halls and receive presents, lots and lots of presents. Christmas also means there are lots of fun activities to do around the capital, and we can’t think of many better than a trip to Kew Gardens to experience Christmas at Kew.

Equally fabulous are the residential property developments in the Kew area. Read on and find out all about the magical Christmas trail at Kew Gardens and the great apartments you could be spending Christmas in.

Kew Gardens

Christmas at Kew is an evening winter trail designed to capture the magic of Christmas. It takes place at Kew Gardens, which has a synonymous history, being  home to one of the first decorated Christmas trees in England.

Once inside the gardens, get into the seasonal spirit by wandering around, admiring tree canopies covered in Christmas colours. Take a moment to admire the waterside reflections, as illuminated fountains dance to music; stroll through a fairytale avenue, enjoying the winter flora before stopping at the scented Fire Garden to smell the aromas and listen to the Choir of Holly Bushes twinkle in time to festive music.

The experience takes up one mile of Christmassy paths, winding their way around the world-famous botanical garden, creating a very seasonal evening experience. Once you have completed the trail you can enjoy traditional vintage rides and shop for some spectacular Christmas gifts.
