    Kew Green Conservation Area 2

    Kew Green Conservation Area 2 Designation Conservation Area designated: 14.01.1969 Conservation Area extended: 07.09.1982 14.06.1988 Location OS Sheets: 1877, 1977 Kew Green conservation area is situated on the A205 to the north-east of Kew Gardens, adjacent to the River Thames. It adjoins the Kew Gardens (15), Kew Road (55) and Royal Botanic Gardens (63) conservation areas to the South. History and Development Kew flourished when Frederick, Prince of Wales established his country residence, the White House, there in I728.This was followed by the development of the Royal Botanic Gardens. Kew Bridge was completed in 1758 and the advent of the railway in 1860 led to the development of the Priory estate as commuter housing. Character The area was designated due to its character as an historic open space, the associated high quality of mostly C18th development and its superior riverside environment. The area was extended southwards down Kew Road to help protect the approach to the Green itself and to include mostly Victorian terraces with mature street trees that in themselves have strong character. Also included was the east side of the railway bridge. There was a further addition of an area of substantial terraced and semi-detached 2 storey Edwardian and Victorian properties which are largely unaltered. The area is made attractive by its abundance of mature street trees, and it forms a visually cohesive area with an easily identifiable sense of place it has a definite village character. The Green constitutes a fine example of an historic Green, with the entrance to Kew Gardens to the west, and is surrounded by large 18th and 19th century houses, many of which are listed and which through the quality of their architecture add formal grace to the central area.

We recommend you paddle with the assistance of the tidal flow, departing from Putney in the first 2 hours of the flood tide. Closely timing the tides can allow a return trip. 1. Put in at the public slipway, crossing to the Fulham side of the river and turning left, for correct rules of travel. You are alongside the grounds of Fulham Palace.
