Kew is a place in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in
South West London.
The Parish Church of Saint Anne, Kew
Kew is best known for being the home of the Royal Botanic Gardens
(now a world heritage site). Other points of interest include Kew
Palace and The National Archives (previously known as the Public
Records Office).
Kew village refers to several attractive parades of shops adjoining
Kew Gardens station. It contains a mixture of independent retailers,
several restaurants, including the well-reviewed The Glasshouse, and
numerous cafes. Most of Kew developed in the late 19th century,
following the arrival of the District Line of the Underground, and
is characterised by large detached or semi-detached houses. It is a
popular (and expensive) residential area because of its transport
links and proximity to Kew Gardens.
Among those buried at Saint Anne’s Church, Kew, are Richard Levett,
Lord Mayor of London and former owner of Kew Palace and members of
his family, including Lincoln’s Inn barrister Levett Blackborne, who
sold Kew Palace to the Royal family.[1] Also buried at Saint Anne’s
are William Aiton, first keeper of the gardens at Kew; English
portrait and landscape painter Thomas Gainsborough; Sir William
Hooker, director of the Royal Gardens at Kew, and father of English
botanist and explorer Joseph Dalton Hooker; Rev. Thomas Haverfield,
chaplain to the Duke of Sussex, a son of King George III; and Johann
Zoffany, German neoclassical painter active in England.
