The Palm House and Palm House Pond
Two white marble Chinese Lions (Also called Fu, or Foo Lions: Lions of Foo are always created in pairs, with the male playing with a ball and the female with a cub.) can be found "guarding" the Victoria Gate side of the pond.They are thought to date from the Ming Dynasty of AD 1368-1644 and were presented to Kew by Sir John Ramsden in 1958.
