ALEXANDRA GARDENS

Public BBQ

A compact, well-kept garden behind the Kew library, a genuine oasis in the heat with mature planting, flowers and sculpture throughout. There is a great deal of seating, with benches and tables set out for picnics, a rotunda, and a large summer hut with seating under cover. Barbecue facilities and several drinking water taps are on site. A small pond holds fish and, at times, an eel, which children find more interesting than anything else here. There is a modest play area of carved wooden animals and branches, though it is not a conventional playground. Dogs are signposted out of that area. The 109 tram stops nearby, and Kew Junction and the shops are a short walk away.
