More Info

Are dogs allowed at Kew Gardens?

Only registered disability assistance dogs are allowed in the gardens - please leave your pets at home.

Are Kew Gardens accessible for visitors with disabilities?

The Gardens are largely flat, with tarmac paths in most places. If you require assistance finding your way, please ask a member of staff and they will be happy to direct you.
The Gardens are under a flightpath and there are often vehicles and machinery at work in the Gardens and this could cause significant noise.
All recognised guide, assistance or service dogs – including assistance dogs in training – are welcome in the Gardens. We ask that they are recognisable, with a lead or harness that identifies them as working.
