The dial is in the Mediterranean garden, near to Kew Palace. It was previously (eg in 2004) kept in store and not on public view but by 2007 was replaced in the open garden. The hours are marked on the sides of the cross, with EoT tables on the north side. The dial was engraved by H Routledge, and was presented to Kew by the maker C V Boys, who also made SRN 0598. The stone column was taken from the old Kew Bridge and was presented by Geo Hobbard FSA. The capital and base were supplied by the Office of Works.
