Depending on your level of interest in the history of gardening ,ours is average interest, but did find some interesting facts to enlighten our visit. Not everyone's cup of tea but the building its-self is tastefully restored from Lambeth St Mary's church and alone is worth a visit. A trip up to the the top of the tower can be hard going but worth it to view London from a different angle. A nice restaurant with garden area also on the site,slightly expensive,but this is tourists London!

I like the Garden Museum's courtyard and wanted to see the new plans for the open space outside on the corner of the street. I didn't eat at the cafe as lunch started at noon and there are no snacks that are not sweet sold before then. The bookshop always has interesting books, though I found their cards less interesting: maybe they should have cards featuring their own plants?

Beautiful, friendly and tranquil place. staff brilliant, helpful and informative. Fay on reception could not have helped us more. She took our coats told us about the wonderful tower. Which we climbed. What a view from the top.

Lovely little museum. Wasn't busy today - a Saturday. It's small and will not take up too much time. The view from the tower is incredible. Be warned that the tower doesn't open if too windy. The steps up to the top of the tower are narrow and steep and there is only a slack rope handrail to hold on to. Proceed with caution and only if wearing correct footwear. Cafe nice but fairly noisy so not relaxing. Very well staffed. Excellent toilet facilities. The setting is beautiful including the stained glass windows. I would recommend this museum - something a bit different.

There are both permanent and rotating exhibits about gardening at Lambeth Palace. It's a bit strange to go to a Garden Museum rather than a garden, but if you're enthusiast you'll enjoy seeing William Robinson's cloak and a well preserved container of Slug Death. There's a small garden in the courtyard (with the grave of William Bligh) and a marvelous cafe. I thought it was a bit pricey, but everything is in life after lockdown. Lovely quiet space it is, though.

Pleasant, tranquil place. Quite niche, obviously...it won't be of much interest to you if you are not interested in gardening. But it's a nice, interesting, small museum in an old church with info and artefacts related to the history of gardening, plus art exhibitions that change over time, as well as temporary exhibitions. There is only a very small garden here - it's a museum, not a landscape garden. The tomb of the sailor Bligh (of Mutiny on the Bounty fame) is in the garden, which might interest some people. Cafe is nice but not cheap. There's a tower you can climb. We wanted to, but it was 'too slippy' due to recent rain. We got a voucher from reception so we could come back later, which was nice.

Lovely temporary 'Gardening Bohemia' exhibition, which was small but perfectly formed. Also enjoyed the permanent collection and the 'denim garden mini exhibition. The building in itself is impressive. The tower was well worth a visit and the views were fanastic, but wear good shoes and take care on the uneven steps. Staff all wonderfully helpful. Toilets and shop were good, although I was sad I wasn't able to buy a magnet as a memento.

Wear comfortable shoes and pack light to climb up the narrow stairs to the top of the tower for fantastic views. Then carefully make you way back down to tour the museum that has some interesting exhibits. This used to be a church so also see the stained glass windows. The museum is compact so you can see in the morning with time to stop in the museum cafe for a bite. Interestingly, the cafe is also open in the evenings after the museum closes. Lambeth Palace Library is just next door so you could easily visit both in one visit.

Some time since I last visited. A few new developments including a paradise garden off the main site. My wife wanted to see the special exhibition - the room was quite small with a lot of exhibits and a lot of visitors! The displays in the rest of the museum and the upper level permanent displays were of interest, but we did not feel like the climb up the tower. We started with a coffee in the cafe. A great disappointment - mine went to a nearby planter! But when I commented on the taste I did not have to pay for it. This put us off having lunch there - although the meals did look quite interesting on the tables.
