Garden visiting & Guided Tours

Garden visiting

Visitors to the garden are welcome between the hours of 9am and 5pm on weekdays, as individuals or in small groups of up to 5 people.
Please note that the garden is occasionally booked for private functions and will not be open to the public on these occasions.

Guided tours (booking essential)

Open tours of the garden are given by senior physicians from the RCP on the first Wednesday of the month at 2pm (April–October).
To book please email reception@rcp.ac.uk or phone 020 30751200.

Why not consider combining your garden tour with a taster tour of the RCP museum? This starts at 1.30pm and you can register for free via Art Tickets

For organised groups of 6 people or more, tours can also be arranged on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays between the hours of 10.30am and 3.30pm

No charge is made for any of these tours; however, donations towards the garden’s upkeep are gratefully received.
