These include sports-and-leisure open spaces, transport links, schools, restaurants, architecture, no high-rise buildings, modest road sizes, gardens and trees. Most of the development in Kew happened in the late 19th century, after the District line of the London Underground came up here.

More about Kew, London

A district within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Kew is 1.5 miles north-east of Richmond and 7.1 miles west of Charing Cross and is the location of the Royal Botanic Gardens, a World Heritage Site. Given how much the gardens dominate the proceedings, it is sometimes difficult to imagine this area as being anything else other than a base for the gardens to reign supreme. But visitors are wrong. Kew has plenty to offer aside from the gardens. It has a wealth of restaurants, Thames views, sports clubs and other green areas that are more than suitable for a game of football. And while it may not be a business hub, it still has good connections to Central London and the local economy is strong and stable thanks to the Royal Botanic Gardens bringing in visitors and the trains pouring in the commuters every day.

As visitors get off at the station, they are greeted by the modern streets that make the area what it is. Further down in all directions, there are a variety of shops and restaurants to peruse at their leisure, and then there’s the Royal Botanic Gardens itself. Within that huge attraction are many galleries, greenhouses and more to keep all tourists happy and to offer many ways to see the natural world.

The nearby station has Overground and National Rail connections. This means that reaching the centre of London is simple and straightforward, and those that want to head deeper into Surrey can do so at their leisure.

History of Kew

Kew is more than just the gardens. In fact, Julius Caesar may have forded the Thames at Kew in 54 BC during the Gallic Wars. Long after him, many monarchs from the Tudor, Stuart and Georgian dynasties maintained close links with Kew. And, during the French Revolution, many refugees came here to hide from the reign of terror and several artists in the 18th and 19th centuries called it home.

Most of Kew developed in the late 19th century, following the arrival of the District line of the London Underground, with more development taking place in the 1920s and 1930s when new houses were built on the market gardens of North Sheen. The first decade of the 21st century saw more river-fronting flats and houses by the Thames

Since 1965 Kew has incorporated the former area of North Sheen, St Philip and All Saints and is now in a combined Church of England parish with St Luke's Church, Kew. This has expanded the area and created a tight-knit community centred on faith and looking after each other. In a time of selfishness, it is good to know that there are still those that believe in dedicating spare time to help others and not just themselves.

Now, Kew is an expensive residential area because of its suburban hallmarks like sports and leisure open spaces, schools, transport links, architecture, restaurants, no high-rise buildings and so much more. Over time, it has become a key area for city dwellers that want to move to more scenic surroundings and still have the best of London in easy access.

Business Life in Kew

While Kew is not a corporate centre, it does have a small local economy that benefits from the footfall of tourists eager to see the big attraction. It has shops of varying sizes and retail is obviously the key cog of Kew. However, its restaurants add a bit of flavour into the mix, and with the district being close to Richmond which has more business opportunities and investment, there are other paths for business travellers to cross when they stay here.

In the business world, Kew functions as a commuter town, a spot where many can jump off to get another train or as a divergent path when heading to Richmond for meetings. London travellers will pass here to get to the city and couples may choose to spend an evening after work here for a meal at one of the many stylish eateries. To others, it is a weekend trip that involves the Royal Botanic Gardens and many snaps to go on the Instagram profile after a week of dull and uninspiring meetings.

Our corporate apartments in Kew complement the surroundings by offering potential business travellers a homely and liveable space that is as eclectic as the gardens that bathe the area. They have all the necessary amenities and are more than suitable to work from remotely when the commute doesn’t sound inviting on wet mornings. Their fully equipped kitchens make healthy eating possible and the lavish interior designs are the welcome that business guests need after a day featuring many ups and downs.

Where to Stay in Kew

Located in West London, Kew apartments are stylishly designed; contain ample space and beautiful views. Each apartment is fully furnished, and contains all the features to make your stay comfortable.   Kew is, of course, world-famous for its botanical gardens, which offer Londoners the chance to step into an oasis of flora and foliage with its stunning array of plant life from around the world. However, Kew is also an ideal location for both business and leisure travellers, who are looking to step outside of the hustle and bustle of London but still require easy access to the city centre. Located in the district of Richmond, Kew is a leafy suburb that offers a relaxed, town-like ambience despite being just thirty minutes outside of the centre of England’s capital. Naturally, this makes the area highly desirable and Kew serviced apartments are amongst the most sought after properties outside of the city centre. TheSqua.re offers a selection of Kew accommodation, representing some of the finest property available in the area.

Facts about Kew

Kew forms part of the Richmond Park UK Parliament constituency.

Record dating as early as 1327 indicates that the name Kew, was Cayho. It is a amalgamation of two words: the Old French kai (landing place; "quay" derives from this) and Old English hoh (spur of land). The land spur is formed by the bend in the Thames.
