Located in West London along the River Thames and within close proximity to the famous Kew Gardens and Richmond, Brentford is a desirable area to live yet it offers much choice in terms of affordable housing. For this reason there has been a surge in new developments in Brentford in recent years.

Surrounded by many beautiful spots including Kew Gardens, Syon Park and the Grand Union Canal, Brentford is an up and coming hidden gem in West London. Its high street isn’t the prettiest but there are some lovely pockets of areas with gastropubs by the canals making it very poplar on weekends. With Brentford football club recently being promoted into the Premiership as well as a newly created football stadium, the area is growing in popularity on a global scale. A lot of development has gone into the area with the Brentford Project offering a new residential and entertainment quarter along the river. Its proximity to the M4 and A406 makes it very convenient for drivers. Brentford station and Kew Bridge station nearby provide good links into Central London too.

Home to the best football team in England and bordering areas of beauty like Kew Gardens and the River Thames, Brentford is West London's hidden gem. There are a plethora of things to do, be it a stroll by the river followed by a cold pint of London Pride at one of the fine real-ale pubs that hug the walkway, or a visit to the Royal Bottanical gardens where you're taken to an exotic world of flora and fauna.
