The house is like 3 min walk from the Kew Garden station where the underground can take you to central London in around 30 mins. Heathrow is 1 hour away through the underground. In addition, the National Archives is 15 min walk away, which is quite convenient for me to do research there. In addition, there are many interesting restaurants and convenient stores around (recommend Garden Fish Bar and Kew Fish Bar). Lastly, I get to meet many amazing flatmates there.
