Kew Gardens and a Proper Sunday Roast

We decided to spend our last day at the famous Kew Gardens. We caught a train from Waterloo to Richmond and found ourselves a coffee at The Greenhouse Cafe, which had a lovely little conservatory and a delightful resident cat.

We spent a few hours wandering the grounds and visiting all three conservatories - featuring the most spectacular tropical plants, orchids and truly enormous waterlilies.

A proper Sunday roast

We had been pining for a proper Sunday roast since arriving in London, so after our morning meander around the gardens we found a quaint little pub called The Cricketers to do just that. We had a spot by the window with a view over the park where locals sat and picnicked with takeaway pints. We enjoyed our roast and had Yorkshire puddings for the first time - delicious!

The National Gallery

After heading back to London, we stopped for a quick wander through The National Gallery before it closed, which is always a favourite visit.
