I'm sure the English OB members can help you out! I can't think of any places off the top of my head.

Nyassa, I hope you have a great time in London! There aren't many orchid nurseries near the city, but I would definitely recommend a visit to Kew Gardens - their orchid house is wonderful!

If you do have the time to get out of the city, a list of the different orchid nurseries here in the UK can be found here: North of England Orchid Society - Nurseries in the UK

I forgot something. If you really really want to get orchids in london, come back in march, for the RHS London show. I missed it (went to london 3 weeks before it) but heard that it is awesome!!

Kew Garden's definitely!

You'll have to take the train (about an hour or so?) and it will be an all-day affair (but you can be back by evening). The whole grounds are just great, and they do have a wonderful orchid house, as well as other "houses". I can't think of any place in the US that has that much to see.

Kew Gardens or not . . . have a great time!

Ed
