Parking at Shirley Sherwood Gallery Inside Kew Gardens
Shirley Sherwood Gallery is inside the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, close to the Temperate House and between Victoria Gate and Lion Gate (kew.org; shirleysherwood.com). The nearest entrance is Victoria Gate (kew.org), so drivers should plan for a walk through the gardens rather than expect a gallery car park beside the building.
The gallery is free to enter for all visitors to Kew Gardens (shirleysherwood.com), but that does not provide a separate parking arrangement. Free parking is available along Kew Road for drivers who arrive early, although spaces fill quickly (assocbotanicalartists.com). The gallery address is 220 Kew Road, Kew, Greater London, TW9 3JX, placing the approach on the Kew Road side of the gardens.
Kew Road and Kew Green Parking Near the Gallery
Free parking along Kew Road is the main nearby option identified for visitors arriving early, with availability becoming difficult as spaces fill quickly (assocbotanicalartists.com). This makes an early arrival particularly relevant for visits planned around busy weekend periods.
A further car park is available off Kew Green (assocbotanicalartists.com). The source identifies it as another option for visitors to the site, while the Kew Gardens information places the gallery nearest to Victoria Gate (kew.org). Both options require continuing from the parking area into the gardens before reaching the gallery.

Busy Weekends and Roadside Parking Around Kew Road

Parking along Kew Road is described as free by the visit information, while the additional car park is off Kew Green (assocbotanicalartists.com). Drivers should use the marked parking areas and follow the restrictions displayed on surrounding streets, since the listed free option is specifically along Kew Road and the other named car park is off Kew Green.
