Sitting on the Thames Embankment, and sheltered by high walls, this is the oldest botanic garden in London. Founded in 1673 by The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London for its apprentices to study medicinal plants and their uses, it became one of the most important centres of botany and plant exchange in the world. Today it’s a beautiful oasis of calm with over 4,500 medicinal, edible and useful plants.

Check before you travel

Always check the garden’s website or call direct before visiting for up-to-date opening times, other ticket price options, and any one-off restrictions which may apply.

Always take your 2-for-1 Gardens card with you. If you’ve booked your tickets under the 2-for-1 Gardens offer, show your card on the day to validate the booking.

Please don’t make multiple bookings or share your 2-for-1 Gardens card – card misuse will invalidate your discount claim. You may use the 2 for 1 printed or digital card for admission only once per garden, per day. You cannot use the printed card and digital card at the same venue on the same day.
