Do I need to buy a ticket to enter the gardens?

Yes ALL gardens require a London Open Gardens 2025 entry ticket.

Can I use cash to buy a ticket on the day?

No. All weekend tickets must be bought online. 

Other types of tickets are also available to buy online throughout the weekend including on the day via our website.

Gardens are encouraged to offer a single entry garden ticket for £5 to visitors and to allow visitors to pay cash for this ticket, however this is at the discretion of the garden. Where gardens offer a single entry ticket it is £5 per person per garden entry. Not all gardens are comfortable handling cash or holding a float and will not provide the option of a £5 cash single entry ticket, in which case you will need to buy an online ticket.
