           | Kew also has an extension in Sussex, Wakefield, which is
           | excellent and much less trafficked than the London site.
           | 
           | By the way, one of the best ways to reach Kew is by riverboat
           | from Westminster. Really great way to see London.

             | Agreed about the riverboats. Tried the Thames clippers for
             | the first time a few weeks ago. They're delightfully empty
             | during weekdays and serve drinks and snacks on board.
