Kew Gardens originated in the exotic garden at Kew Park formed by Lord Capel of Tewkesbury. It was enlarged and extended by Princess Augusta, the widow of Frederick, Prince of Wales, for whom Sir William Chambers built several garden structures. One of these, the lofty Chinese pagoda built in 1761 still remains. George III enriched the gardens, aided by William Aiton and Sir Joseph Banks. The old Kew Park (by then renamed the White House), was demolished in 1802. The "Dutch House" adjoining was purchased by George III in 1781 as a nursery for the royal children.

In 1979, Thorpe Park was constructed on the site of a gravel pit in Chertsey which was partially flooded to accommodate its water themes.Originally owned by 'Ready Mix Concrete', the park was taken over in 1999 by the 'Tussauds Group', which in turn was bought out eight years later by the 'Merlin Group'. It's divided into eight different regions - the largest area, and the one hosting the majority of the rides, is the Lost City, which is based around a Mayan temple theme. The Park itself holds numerous records for its rides, amongst which are "the tallest flume in the UK", "the first Sky Swat outside of the USA" and the world's first roller coaster to feature ten inversions.
