A trip to London would not be complete without paying a visit to one of the city’s beautiful indoor or outdoor gardens. Among London’s most famous is the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which has officially revealed its new Temperate House following a five-year restoration project. Having taken more than 1,700 days to complete as the largest renovation in the gardens’ history, the doors finally reopened on May 5.
