About

London's Oldest Botanical Garden

Story

Situated in the heart of London, this 'Secret Garden' is a centre of education, beauty and relaxation. Chelsea Physic Garden was founded by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London in 1673 for its apprentices to study the medicinal qualities of plants. Throughout the 1700s it was one of the most important centres of botany and plant exchange in the world. It is London’s oldest botanic garden and a unique living museum.

5 MILLION STARS!!! This may be my favorite place from my visit to London. I almost didn’t end up going here but OH BOY I’m so glad that I did!! The smell is so good. There is birdsong EVERYWHERE. The paths are so well kept and the hedges so well-trimmed! They were even having an insect identification class when I was there! It was so cool. There were so many arches and paths to explore, I could’ve stayed all day!! The one thing I would’ve loved to see more of was stuff in the gift shop! I’d hoped there would be some sort of t shirt or tote bag but there was not … some really nice seed packets though! And a couple super cute houseplants as well as gardening tools! If you are in the area or even if, like me, you aren’t PLEASE go check it out!! You will not regret it!!
Had no idea this was such a beautiful place in Royal Hospital Road, just off Chelsea Embankment. The 170 bus goes there from Victoria Station. Entrance is £15 but there are discounts for certain groups. It's a four acre site with cultivated gardens. Tours available and Pamela was extremely knowledgeable on the features of the site. Enjoyed the tour, went to the cafe then had another look around on our own. It's a 10 - 15 min walk from Carlyle's House so possible to visit both places in a day. Highly recommend.
This is an enchanting garden, a real gem tucked away from the busy roads and s stones throw away from the river. We were there in late July and it was in full summer bloom. We loved the tropical greenhouse, geranium greenhouse, wild meadow along the pond and weaving between the many beds of vibrant flowers. A oasis of calm, clearly nurtured and tendered to by those lucky enough to work there!
Whether it's for a summers walk through their exquisite gardens, a tasty bite for lunch, or even a Christmas fayre, the Chelsea Physic Garden is a splendid place to spend your time whiling away the hours. This tranquil hideaway by the Chelsea Riverside is a must if you're in the area, and even more so if you're simply in the mood for any of the above, depending on the time of year! It's a treat for all seasons and food for the soul.
I loved this place! Made my little herbalist heart so happy to be amongst all the beautiful plants! I was starting to wonder if we were in the right place as we walked down the road towards it. Then through the unassuming door and voila, transported to a different world entirely. It’s easy to forget this is in central London! The only downside was that the toilets are very small!
A lovely garden with greenhouses, lots of information about growing plants, a lovely shop, toilets, wildlife trees and lots of history. It is well worth the visit and has plants from all over the world.
A very special walled garden full of history and fascinating stories. I joined a fantastic guided tour given by Michaela, whose knowledge of the medicinal plants and passion for the place was truly inspiring. I can’t wait to go back in different seasons and learn more.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Physics such as physical science not like energy and motion which if funny because my wife, the physics teacher, wanted to go because of the name. We were not disappointed as there were so many pretty flowers and plants from around the world. We had a good time walking through the gardens and seeing all the pretty things. Plenty of good spots to take some photos. We didn't try the restaurant since we had reservations at Ramsay but it smelled good.
I went to the Chelsea Physic Garden plant show and it was lovely. Lots of stalls and plants for sale. As well as getting to see the actual gardens and green houses. The cafe looked lovely too but a bit busy because of the event. I especially enjoyed the tulips
Interesting garden in a quiet area of London off the beaten track for most tourists. Signs explain the link between the common herbaceous plants and their medicinal uses, both historically and in the present day. Small cost really with lots of discounts for various groups. Not sure I'd visit in autumn of winter. Latest spring and summer are best for most flowers.
