A seventeenth century enclosed garden. It was made, in 1673, as a garden in which to grow plants for medicinal purposes and, though it is still a botanical garden, has the appearance of an ornamental garden with regular walks. The garden's position near the Thames was chosen to allow non-native plants to grow in the warmer microclimate created by the river.
Address 66 Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, London, Greater London, England, SW3 4HS
Opening times April to October. Wednesday 12pm to dusk or 9pm (whichever is earlier). Thursday and Friday 12pm to 5pm., Sundays, Bank Holidays and Good Friday, 12-6pm., Monday 21st May - Friday 25th May, 12-5pm.
Admission Adult £7.00, Child £4.00
