Established in 1673, London's first botanical garden is a quiet, green spot near the Thames. The park is now primarily a research and education facility, and several plant-based products have been discovered and tested here. Climate-controlled greenhouses filled with horticultural treasures also delight plant enthusiasts. Extended Wednesday hours (until 10pm) in July and August. In 2014, the garden is busy working on its garden of medicinal plants and holds regular talks from big name people both in gardening and culture who will help revive your interest in beautiful plants and gardens and their uses to society. There are family activity days too. TUBE: Sloane Square
