Londoners can save money on their trip to Kew Gardens this spring, thanks to a new offer from Transport for London (TfL).
The discount is part of a wider scheme celebrating the Tube and the role it plays in London life.
It is also part of the 160th anniversary celebrations of the Tube, an anniversary shared by the Temperate House at Kew.
Deputy Mayor for Transport Seb Dance said: “TfL and Kew Gardens are both key parts of London’s cultural identity. It’s great to be able to celebrate this joint anniversary of 160 years of the Tube and the Temperate House at Kew.
We’re celebrating the 160th anniversary of the Tube - the worlds first and most famous underground railway.

“As spring approaches, I encourage Londoners to take advantage of these discounted tickets and plan a day out to Kew Gardens on London’s public transport network.”
TfL’s customer directorJulie Dixon said: “Kew Gardens is a popular year-round destination for Londoners and visitors, and we’re really pleased to have teamed up with them for greater savings for our customers as spring colour begins to blossom.
“The fact that the London Underground and the Temperate House at Kew Gardens are both celebrating their 160th anniversary this year makes the partnership even more special.
“We hope our customers will enjoy exploring Kew Gardens using our transport network, which enables people to enjoy London’s best attractions for less as we head into spring and summer.”
