Kew Palace: The Official Illustrated History

Susanne Groom - 2008, Official Illustrated History

Overview

Kew Palace, situated within the renowned Royal Botanic Gardens in southwest London, holds the distinction of being Britain's smallest royal palace. Originally constructed in 1631 as a merchant's residence, it later became a cherished home for George III, Queen Charlotte, and their extensive family. This palace served as a private retreat for the monarch during his periods of illness. The surrounding grounds evolved from 18th-century royal pleasure gardens into a globally significant center for botanical study, influenced by landscape designers like Charles Bridgeman and 'Capability' Brown, and enhanced by notable garden structures designed by William Chambers.
