The Pavilion
he original refreshment Pavilion was built in 1888. It attracted
unwanted attention in 1913 when suffragettes burnt it down. They
had
previously destroyed orchids and smashed glass panes in three of
the
orchid houses.
A temporary tea pavilion was erected in 1914, which was eventually
replaced in 1920 with the current Pavilion Restaurant, designed
by the Office of Works in a functional style.
It's now a licensed family self-service cafeteria.
