Temperate House

The Temperate House at Kew Gardens is the largest surviving Victorian glasshouse in the world and reopened in 2018 after a five-year renovation. Photo-travelers should explore the eclectic collection of rare and endangered temperate zone plants from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. The high ceilings and intricate ironwork provide stunning architectural elements, while the double-height feature in the center allows for dramatic shots of towering palms. Optimal natural light filters through the extensive glass panels, best photographed during early morning or late afternoon to capture the soft, diffused light.
