Heritage House and Botanic Garden Membership Schemes (2014 prices)
Historic Houses Association (Annual: £45 single /£72 double) : Membership scheme which gives free entrance to many houses passed by the walks.
National Trust (First Year: £43.50/£71.62) : Covers several of the more well known attractions (e.g. Nymans Gardens, Wakehurst, Winkworth, Knole House), and free parking at NT car parks.
English Heritage (£49/£86) : Has a similar scheme, but only a few of its properties are covered by these walks.
The Art Fund (First Year: £42.75/£64.50) : Eclectic mixture of NT, English Heritage, and museums. Not many places on the walks, but maybe of interest as it covers most London museums. Recommended.
The National Pinetum, Kew Gardens / Wakehurst, and Heligan have a reciprocal membership scheme.

If anyone is interested - there is a London Open Gardens weekend scheduled for Saturday June 10th & Sunday June 11th 2023
https://londongardenstrust.org/
Tickets are not fee - but once that hurdle is overcome then there are several short self-guided walks that could be done in various London Boroughs.
Just a thought.
