Ambling along the River Thames, just a stone’s throw away from this modern apartment, you’d be momentarily excused for forgetting you were in the heart of West London. Yet turn a corner, and you’ll find the snug pubs and a bustling high street of Brentford. Well suited for guests looking to stay in a quiet pocket of London, this apartment offers the best of both worlds. Stay local and stroll over Kew Bridge for a picnic amidst the tree-canopy walkways and glasshouses of Kew Gardens in Richmond (ten minutes on foot). Or hop on the train at Kew Bridge Station (a mere five-minute walk away) to be in central London in thirty minutes flat. When it’s finally time to retreat home, a contemporary, light-filled home awaits. Feedback from guests regarding this place has never been short of outstanding, and it's easy to see why. Immaculately presented throughout, we love the suntrap balcony revealing sideways views of the river - the perfect spot for breakfast and a coffee or a few evening drinks. And with secure underground parking included for free, there’s no need to worry about London parking shenanigans here. Visiting London doesn't get much easier than this.
