Sensational autumn experiences at Kew
The trees at Kew Gardens display show-stopping colour every autumn. Along the Broad Walk the red oak (Quercus rubra) shows-off a vivid crimson autumn foliage. Near the Ruined Arch, the majestic sweet gum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) displays a magnificent spectrum of yellows, reds and deep purples. You can experience all of these highlights and more on a guided tour, or just explore autumn for yourself with our recommended autumn attractions.
