We went to Kew Gardens today, not by boat but by a combination of tube and bus. Andrew was in charge of travel arrangements. Getting there was simple enough – District line, change at Earl’s Court. Except that whilst we were on tne train they changed it’s destination. So we actually changed at Turnham Green.

The day at Kew was great. The newly restored temperate house looked good, though it will be a few years before all the plants are fully established again.

A picnic lunch was taken on Kew Green then  Andrew again directed the return travel. Walk across Kew bridge, bus to Ravenscourt park, district line to South Ken then Circle line to Paddington. But in between we had several hop on and hop off different trains!
