Just a stone's throw from the world-famous Kew Gardens, this ground-floor apartment is an ideal fit for horticulturists and budding botanists. It has all the essentials for a no-fuss stay – a bright living area, two cosy bedrooms, and a sleek kitchen with everything you'll need. Although the area is most known for its iconic gardens, the leafy streets are also home to coffee shops, quaint pubs, and local eateries. Kew feels a world away from central London, yet you're only a thirty-minute or so Tube ride from Westminster, Victoria, and other hotspots in the capital – that's what we call the best of both worlds.
