Jimi Hendrix once tried to visit Kew Gardens but was refused entry for what reason?

Jimi Hendrix was refused entry to Kew Gardens in 1967 because he was wearing a military-style jacket, which was against the garden's dress code at the time. This incident highlights the contrast between Hendrix's countercultural image and the more formal expectations of traditional venues. Despite his fame and artistic influence, he was subject to the same rules as any other visitor.
