The house was really well located for a visit to London. It gave us easy access to central London by overground tube and train, especially to the museums in South Kensington, while enjoying a more relaxed town atmosphere of Richmond. The house is just around the corner from Kew Gardens which we could access for half price after 4pm. We also enjoyed using the lovely garden at the house. During our 4 night stay, we were aware of noise from air traffic at Heathrow for some of the time but this wasn't an issue for us and because air tunnels into the airport changed during our stay, there were days with no overhead noise. This is a family home so was well equipped with utensils, games etc but not cluttered with too many personal items. Overall a good base for 4 people - 6 would have been a squeeze.
