The Xstrata Treetop Walkway lift remains out of order
The Xstrata Treetop Walkway lift has proved unreliable since it was brought into service. After exhaustive investigation it has been decided that an alternative solution to the current lift will need to be found. Investigations are underway as to what the options are.
Please note that the lift is for disabled access only and the main route of access to the top of Xstrata Treetop Walkway is up a staircase (118 stairs).
We sincerely apologise if this affects your visit. If you have any questions concerning the closure of the lift and how this could affect your visit, please contact our Visitor Information team on 020 8332 5655 or send an email to info@kew.org.
