A stunning celebration of the architecture of Kew Gardens and the local area.
The Kew Sketch Journal is a stunning celebration of Kew Gardens and the local area through the eyes of artist and designer Charles Leon. Through this unique perspective, Charles shares with the reader the human relationship with buildings, built by people for people, used and visited, and a constant through decades and centuries.
Few places in the world have such a range of great architecture in such a relatively small area as Kew, and the author takes us on an architectural and historical journey around the Gardens and local area. The book covers everything from Kew’s great Victorian glasshouses the Palm House and Temperate House, through to modern additions such as the Princess of Wales Conservatory and Davies Alpine House, and other visitor attractions including Kew Palace, the Xstrata Treetop Walkway and Marianne North Gallery.
