About Kew

Kew lies along the Thames between Richmond and Chiswick, easily reached via the A4 and A315 from central London or the M25. The South Circular provides the main north-south route, whilst the A307 runs along the river. Popular routes include short hops from Richmond and Chiswick, plus longer drives from Windsor and Heathrow Airport 8 miles away. The Victorian railway bridge at Kew Gardens station creates a distinctive 30-foot-high archway over Station Approach, unchanged since 1869.
