Village cafés, leafy walks and two exceptional places to explore: The National Archives and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Our four fully self-contained apartments and studios are all in the same building, giving you your own private base for a research visit or a London break.
Approximately 8 minutes’ walk to The National Archives · 7 minutes’ walk to Kew Gardens station
Visiting The National Archives
Spend the day following a family story or working through your research, then return to your own space nearby. Our location makes it easy to settle into a longer research stay, with local cafés and shops for breaks between visits.
If you plan to consult original documents, check the reader’s ticket requirements and arrange your reading-room visit in advance. The reading rooms have different opening hours from other visitor facilities.

A day at Kew Gardens
Make time to wander through the gardens, explore the glasshouses and enjoy the changing seasons. Kew offers plenty of reasons to slow down, whether you want a full day exploring or a gentle afternoon among the plants.
Check the official website for tickets, seasonal opening times, entrance gates and any planned attraction closures before you visit.
Enjoy the village
Start with a coffee, pick up something for lunch, or enjoy an easy supper nearby. Kew Village is a pleasant place to spend time between outings, with local shops, cafés and places to eat around the station.
Having your own apartment or studio also gives you the freedom to keep your own routine. Cooking facilities vary between the four properties, so take a look at the individual descriptions when choosing your stay.
Riverside walks and Richmond
Leave time for the Thames and the surrounding green spaces. Richmond makes a lovely outing for a riverside stroll, a browse around the shops or a meal before returning to Kew.
Getting around
Kew Gardens station is approximately seven minutes’ walk from the building. It is served by the District line and London Overground’s Mildmay line, connecting Kew with Richmond and routes across London.
Journey times depend on your destination and the service. Use Transport for London to plan your route and check disruptions, including weekend engineering works. For airport journeys, allow extra time for traffic or changes between services.
