Kew Palace

& Queen Charlotte's Cottage

Kew Palace, in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, is currently closed to visitors. It is the least known of the British palaces, but is now undergoing one of the most significant building conservation projects of recent years, which will ensure the building's preservation for future generations. Queen Charlotte's Cottage is also in the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and is open to visitors every summer weekend. The cottage was enjoyed by King George III and his wife, Queen Charlotte, as a picnic place and home to their menagerie of exotic animals. The interiors are decorated with paintings, probably by George's daughter, Princess Elizabeth. Entrance to Queen Charlotte's Cottage is included in the admission price to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
