The Kew Sketch Journal
Kew Gardens and the Surrounding Areas
A compilation of beautifully produced sketches of Kew Gardens and surrounding architecture.
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 beautiful sketches, Charles takes the reader on an architectural and historical journey around Kew’s great Victorian glasshouses, the Princess of Wales Conservatory, Davies Alpine House, Kew Palace, and the Xstrata Treetop Walkway, among others. Few places in the world feature such a range of great architecture in a small area. Along the way, Charles offers personal insights into his sketching journey around Kew and snippets of history about the buildings and the human relationships with them, making this a charming souvenir of the area.
