This is a very good location for exploring Richmond. It’s close to the station; only a 10 minute walk away but plenty of buses if you prefer transport. 8 minute walk to the Lion Gate at Kew Gardens and 10-15 minutes away from the Thames river path. Edward provides a very clean, safe space.
You can, at times, hear trains, planes or traffic but the house is double glazed so this shouldn’t affect you. Edward is a very good host, communicates promptly and is full of helpful local knowledge!
