Merry, I filled up before I started. I dont think they allow camping at Kew. Mind you there was someone in the loo's when I left. I hope she didnt get locked in. Fi x |

Hi Merry. I actually had tomatoes on 2 pieces of toast for breakfast at Kew and it cost £2.60. It was lovely. Fi |

Beans on toast (two slices of toast, but only enough beans for one slice) at my local cafe will set you back over £4, so 60p for a spoonful doesn't sound too bad, esp for London!!! (I live 100 miles away!) Glad to hear you found what you were looking for :o)) Merry (actually, you would have thought serving baked beans in a RO would NOT be a wise move??? lol) |

Jim, Kew is really accessible for wheelchair users. And the staff are very helpful. They help me photocopy my docs and carry my original documents too and from my locker if i need it. I like going to Kew. Fi |

I found the medal rolls for both my Great Grandfather and my Great Grandmother's brother who both served in WW1. And I also found the Great Grandmother's brother mentioned in the War Diary for his Regiment. He saved a life and was awarded the DCM. Fi PS I am sorry i didnt tell anyone was going. I didnt know till this morning. PPS if you see baked beans on display along with the regular lunch stuff at Kew. do not get them. RIP OFF OR WHAT!!. I paid £5.10 for my dinner and cos i had put baked beans on the plate I paid an extra 60p.!!!!!! I told the woman what I thought. |
