North Eastern ZoneFrom the Alpine House to the Princess of Wales ConservatoryThis is essentially the north-eastern corner of Kew Gardens and originally consisted of small houses with long gardens extending from Kew Green, and square plots along Kew Road. Many of these plots were incorporated into the Gardens in a piecemeal manner during the 18th-20th centuries. Currently most of the buildings around the outside of this area - many of them architecturally interesting - are used for administrative and residential purposes. The historic garden plots are now the small discrete garden areas which in the main represent particular elements of botanic interest, such as the Aquatic Garden, the Grass Garden, the Order Beds and the Rock Garden. The main focus of the entire area is the architecturally stunning Princess of Wales Conservatory, one of the most advanced glasshouses at Kew. The gardens in this area are generally open to the public, but the yards and buildings, including the scientifically renowned Jodrell Laboratory are accessible for Kew people only.
