Works Across the Estate

When you’re visiting us please follow signs and keep to designated routes, and enjoy your visit.

Bandstand

Starting on Monday 11 May, we are having the Bandstand redecorated to look its best in time for the summer and the 125 Anniversary events.

The work should take between 2-3 weeks, during which the Bandstand will be scaffolded.

World Gallery

The World Gallery will be closed for maintenance works on 2 and 3 June.

Nature + Love

The Museum and Gardens will be open throughout the Nature + Love project works, but some areas may be closed and visitor routes changed. Please follow signage onsite and be aware of increased vehicle traffic.

In the Museum, the Natural History Gallery is closed and will reopen in early 2027. The work may cause increased noise in the Museum. Visit the free natural history displays downstairs in The Studio and Music Gallery for a fresh look at a few familiar and unique specimens from our collection.

In the Gardens, you can use the Meadow Field but please note there is no through route around the bottom of the Field. Please use the crossing point below the Bandstand Terrace.

Some other areas of the Gardens may be closed and visitor routes changed at short notice. Please follow signage onsite and be aware of increased vehicle traffic.

Nature Trail

Please call before visiting to check if the Trail is open on the day you intend to visit or during unseasonal weather – 020 8699 1872.
