Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens is defined by the Royal Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site that dominates the area's eastern side. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with streets of Victorian and Edwardian houses radiating from the village centre. This centre, focused around Kew Green, contains local shops, pubs, and restaurants catering to residents. The area maintains a quiet, village-like atmosphere, heavily influenced by its proximity to the extensive botanical collections and historic glasshouses.

Transport links include the District line Underground and Overground services at Kew Gardens station, providing direct access to central London. The Thames Path runs along the riverbank, offering walking and cycling routes. The area is bordered by the River Thames to the east and Old Deer Park to the north, with Kew Bridge connecting to Brentford. The Royal Botanic Gardens' seed bank, the Millennium Seed Bank Partnership, is a major global conservation resource based here.
