Kew Green and Kew Pond

Introduction

Kew Green today is a triangular space bisected by the busy Kew Road, largely grass with mature chestnuts and other trees mainly around its periphery. It has long been popular for its cricket matches. The focal point at the apex of the triangle is the fine entrance gate to the Royal Botanical Gardens, and to the south of the Green lies the parish church and walled churchyard of St Anne. In the north east corner is Kew Pond, an old horse pond.
