| The Great Pagoda was designed by Sir William Chambers and completed in 1762 as a gift for Princess Augusta, the founder of the botanic gardens at Kew. It is a ten-storey octagon tower, standing at almost 50m and each level is 30cm narrower than the one below.It offered one of the earliest and finest birdââ¬â¢s eye views of London.At the time of its construction it was considered so unusual that people were unconvinced it would remain standing. |
