Neighbourhood
We live in a beautiful mansion estate with gorgeous communal gardens, lots of quiet benches to relax on, and even a duck pond. There's loads of space for kids run wild, with a football kickabout area, rope swings, and a woodland play area with teepee.
We are right on the doorstep to stunning Richmond park, an excellent place for walks and bike rides. We are also right next to Sheen woods, which has an adventure playground and millions of wild blackberries to pick in the summer! Kew Gardens isn't far away.
There are a few pubs, cafes, shops, restaurants, and a playground within 5-10 minutes walk, and walking a few minutes further will take you into Richmond village with loads of restaurants and shops and of course, the River Thames. Maybe you'll even see Ted Lasso...
There is a large Sainsbury's supermarket less than 10 minutes walk away. Richmond village is about 15 minutes walk away or easily accessible by bus. There's a fast train that can get you to Waterloo station in central London in 24 minutes.
Nearest airport
From Heathrow it's about 45 minutes in a cab, or approximately an hour by train. From Gatwick, it's about an hour by car or an hour by train.
Getting Around
Easy to walk anywhere through the leafy streets of Richmond, or hop on a bus outside our flat. There are loads of shops, restaurants, pubs, and bars nearby. We're close to both Richmond and North Sheen train stations. Black cabs and uber are available, and if you drive, our flat comes with free off-street parking.

We are a small family of three...myself and my daughter - born 2018 and son - 2020. I am American, and the kids are half-American/half-Spanish. They speak Catalan fluently, and I speak a bit of Spanish.
I am an avid traveller and have been to over 75 countries and have lived in the US, Seoul, Dubai, Barcelona, Costa Rica, and now London. I am eager to introduce my kids to all that this amazing planet has to offer! They're young and thrive on routine, so I think staying in someone else's home, particularly one already set up with toys, books, and "kid stuff," makes the experience easier for us all!
