Next spring we are planning a week near High Wycombe and have thought that one of the places that we have always wanted to go to is Kew Gardens. As the crow flies, is about 30 miles away I believe. The question is what is the best way to get there? Apparently there is very limited parking at Kew so our thoughts are to drive best part of the way there down the M40 / A40 and then get the train / tube to Kew. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best place to go to to park the car? We'd thought about Uxbridge or Ealing but these places may not be the best. Any ideas would be very welcome.

It was a few years ago that we went but there is parking nearby for cars. You go past the main gates and down a little side road which takes you down to the parking behind the Gardens. I am sure that Google Earth would illustrate exactly where it was.

 Thanks, all, for your replies. It looks as though it will be M40 then A40, into Ealing and then number 65 bus to Kew. I won't have to worry about the LEZ as my car is Euro 6.

The multi storey at EalingBroadway  is above the Broadway  shopping centre - with lifts and escalators down to the shops which are around a central courtyard. .The 65 bus starts from tne train station which is across the road but I think there will also be a bus stop outside the shopping centre. I don’t know the parking prices - my Ealing resident daughter pays. You will be outside the Inner London ULEZ.so won’t have to pay that.
