From the top of the Pagoda, Kew Gardens: On a clear day you can see…..? But not as far as Yorkshire, or Kirstenboch

But first, a little history – the Pagoda dates back to 1762, built as a surprise for Princess Augusta, mother of George III…

253 steps, ten flights of shallow steps with a wide landing at each level with views across Kew Gardens and as you gain height, London beyond

on a clear day, you can see… well, not quite

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Kew

and the Temperate House, undergoing a lot of renovation..
