About this property
Kew Gardens House | Thames, Richmond Park, Private Garden & Free Parking
Rated highly for cleanliness, check-in, and communication. The most reviewed property in our portfolio — and the one that guests return to specifically for the combination of complete privacy, village character, and extraordinary green space that is genuinely difficult to find anywhere else in London.
THE HOUSE An entire detached house in Kew TW9 — behind private gates, with a private garden, free parking on the drive, and a front door that belongs entirely to you. No shared lobbies, no building corridors, no neighbours above or below. Just a complete house in one of London`s most charming villages, with the Thames a short walk in one direction and Richmond Park accessible in the other.
The king master bedroom has bespoke fitted wardrobes, an electronic safe, and high-quality linen. The master ensuite has a shower and basin — private to the master bedroom. The double second bedroom has twin wardrobes and high-quality linen. The family bathroom has both a bath and shower, heated towel rail, hotel-quality towels, hairdryer, shower amenities, and shaver charging point.
The open-plan living and kitchen area has a Smart TV and a double sofa bed always made up and ready — extra pillows and blankets provided. 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 throughout. Window AC units and fans during the warmer months.
The private front garden has outdoor seating with table and chairs— a genuinely rare feature for any London rental property, and one that guests across every season consistently mention in their reviews. One free private parking space on the gated drive is included at no additional charge.
A noise decibel monitor is installed — sound levels only, no audio or video. Quiet hours: 21:00–09:00, including in the garden.
CHECK-IN A member of our team meets every guest at the property on arrival.
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Kew is the kind of London neighbourhood that changes how people think about the city. It has a genuine village character — independent cafés, Michelin-starred restaurants, a famous street market, excellent pubs — and it sits at the confluence of three of London`s greatest green assets: the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Thames riverside path, and Richmond Park.
The Thames riverside walk from Kew is one of London`s most beautiful — heading west towards Richmond and Twickenham along a stretch of river lined with ancient trees and riverside pubs. Richmond Park — 2,500 acres of ancient royal parkland, home to red and fallow deer herds — is easily accessible and one of the finest places to walk, run, or cycle in Greater London.
Kew Gardens tube (District line) is approximately 5 minutes on foot — direct to Victoria, Sloane Square, and the West End. Heathrow is 20–25 minutes by car via the M4.
GETTING AROUND — Kew Gardens tube (District line): 5-min walk — Victoria Station (Gatwick Express): approx. 30 min via District line — Sloane Square / Chelsea: approx. 25 min via District line — Heathrow Airport: approx. 20–25 min by car via M4 — Parking: free private parking on the gated drive — included, no charge

We had the most stay and the location was great. Just a quick train to see Windsor Castle and a short walk to bars and restaurants. Highly recommend this VRBS
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!
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.
Great spot in a cool location. Easy walk to the subway. Apartment was very clean and modern. Great communication with host as they even let us check in early.

This is in an incredible location. The bus stop right outside get you into central Richmond quickly. You have train or tube options to get to London in about 45 minutes. We chose this spot for proximity to Kew gardens, which is just about a 10 minute walk. The house is clean and the small garden in front adds a layer of peace and privacy. There are two AC units that work very well, in case of heat wave. The owners were very accommodating and easy to work with. The only confusing part was payment, which I guess is a part of how VRBO works. I don't really know because we haven't used VRBO frequently, but you are directed to a separate payment site even though VRBO appears to say not to do that. However, VRBO's own guidelines do say that preferred hosts use external payment processing. I confirmed with VRBO that this was correct to assure myself and the hosts helped me with that. The short version is that it felt sketchy, but it wasn't.We highly recommend this spot and would stay again if we return.
