Located in Kew within a short walk of Thames River, this vacation home is within a mile (2 km) of other popular sights such as Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a fenced private yard, and a refrigerator.
This is an entire detached house in Kew TW9 — behind its own private gate, with its own front garden, its own parking space on the drive, and its own front door. No shared lobbies, no building corridors, no neighbours on the other side of a wall. Just a complete house, entirely yours, in one of the most charming and well-connected villages in west London.
Highly rated by recent guests and awarded Guest Favourite status for cleanliness. It is one of the most reviewed properties in our portfolio and the one that consistently surprises guests who expect a typical London rental and find something genuinely different.

The family bathroom has a bath-shower, heated towel rail, hotel-quality towels, hairdryer, shower amenities, toilet paper, and shaver charging point.

The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, and cooking utensils. Workspace and fast Wi-Fi are available throughout. Window AC units and fans during the warmer months.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Kew is the kind of London neighbourhood that people discover and immediately want to tell others about. It has a genuine village character — independent cafés, excellent pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, a riverside path along the Thames, and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew a short walk away. It is quiet, prosperous, and remarkably well-connected for a neighbourhood that feels so resolutely non-urban.
The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew are a UNESCO World Heritage Site — 326 acres of extraordinary botanical collections attracting visitors from across the world in every season. The Thames riverside path is equally close, with walks towards Richmond and Twickenham. Richmond Park — one of London`s greatest green spaces — is a short distance away.
Kew Gardens tube (District line) is approximately 10 minutes on foot, with direct connections to Victoria, Sloane Square, and the West End. Kew Bridge National Rail connects to Waterloo.

A great London base near Kew Gardens
What a lovely lodging to use as our base for a London visit ! In a quiet and charming neighborhood near the end of the District line, just a 7 minute walk from the station, with a nice old pub nearby and good restaurants. The space is bright, clean, roomy enough, and very comfortable, with nice furnishings and well supplied kitchen and bath. There is a lovely and fragrant outside garden with seating. The 1-1/2 baths were fine for our party of 3. We can't speak to the heating system, as our visit was on the 3 hottest days of the year, with the AC and fans struggling to keep up.We would happily stay here again on a future London visit.

Amazing stay!
Beautiful, spacious flat in a fantastic location! We absolutely loved our stay here; the place was spotless, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook for yourself, as well as milk, coffee, and various spices. The beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the private patio/garden space. Communication with property management was fantastic; they responded to messages immediately and were always friendly, professional, and helpful. They also very kindly accommodated an early check-in request, which was greatly appreciated after a long flight! 10/10 experience!
