Kew, best known for the world-famous Royal Botanic Gardens, is one of South West London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. With its riverside charm, historic attractions, and excellent transport links into central London, demand for Airbnb properties in Kew is consistently high.

 

For homeowners and landlords, short letting in Kew can deliver significantly higher returns than traditional rentals. But to achieve success on Airbnb and similar platforms, you need professional management. That’s where Pass the Keys Kingston & Richmond comes in.

 

 

 

Why Short Let in Kew?

 

 

Kew attracts a wide range of visitors all year round, including:

 

  • Tourists visiting Kew Gardens, the National Archives, and nearby Richmond Park.

  • Business travellers working in Richmond, Kingston, or central London.

  • Families seeking a relaxing base outside central London.

  • Couples enjoying weekend breaks along the Thames.

 

 

This variety ensures strong occupancy rates and consistent income for short let properties in Kew.
