The Nash Conservatory

A bright and sophisticated glasshouse on the borders of the Gardens.

Nash Conservatory at Kew

Originally built in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, the Nash Conservatory was moved brick-by-brick to Kew in 1836.  

This 19th century glasshouse can accommodate a wide range of events, from presentations to product launches, corporate away days to drinks receptions, and much more. Floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides create a wealth of natural daylight with relaxing views onto the Gardens.

The Nash Conservatory may also be used for pre-dinner drinks before moving on to the Orangery for an evening dinner dance, or perhaps as a lunch venue when using the Sir Joseph Banks Building for a conference.
