The Kew Victoria

The Kew Victoria from £12,540

The first building in the Kew Collection, the Kew Victoria, harks back to a time when Kew Gardens was a royal pleasure garden dotted with follies.

The Kew Victoria is influenced by the ornamental buildings designed by Sir William Chambers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and echoes the centuries-old landscape architecture seen on the Grand Tours. Exclusive design features like the pewter-style ironmongery and roof finials set this garden building apart, and ensure it will prove timeless in style and enduring in quality.
