Artisan produce at Kew Village Market
At this time of year, with visitors from all over the world arriving at the station, the market takes on a cosmopolitan flavour. On their way to Kew Gardens, almost all stop to browse the stalls, picking out packable gifts to take home (KVM cotton bags are a favourite) or a picnic from the appetising choice of street food. Sometimes of course the picnic doesn’t get as far as the Gardens, with visitors deciding to join locals hanging out for lunch while enjoying the live music – this month we’ve got country duo Steepways, followed by the Orchard Jazz Quartet.
