Kew Gardens: Location and Local Orientation
Kew Gardens Underground station is recorded by TfL at Kew Gardens Station, London Overground Ltd., Station Approach, RICHMOND, TW9 3BZ. Use Station Approach and postcode TW9 3BZ to anchor your taxi or cab enquiry rather than a broad neighbourhood name. Its Underground fare-zone reference is 3 / 4; a Tube fare zone does not set the price of a taxi or minicab.
The closest other Underground station positions in this directory are Gunnersbury (1.78 km), Richmond (1.90 km), and Chiswick Park (2.29 km). Those figures are straight-line distances calculated from TfL coordinates, not walking routes, station interchanges or journey-time estimates.
The published station postcode falls in the Richmond upon Thames local-authority area (Kew ward). These postcode boundaries are administrative references; use your actual street destination when arranging a minicab.
Named Places Around Kew Gardens
Named green-space landmarks around Kew Gardens include Pensford Tennis Club (tennis court, approximately 0.29 km to the mapped boundary); Royal Botanic Gardens (public park or garden, approximately 0.39 km to the mapped boundary); North Sheen Cemetery (cemetery, approximately 0.55 km to the mapped boundary). These are straight-line distances derived from the TfL station position and Ordnance Survey’s April 2026 mapped site polygons. A boundary can be much closer than a usable entrance: these figures do not describe walking routes, road access or a place for a driver to wait.
If your journey ends at Pensford Tennis Club, give its own entrance or street address when booking. A taxi booking for the Underground station identifies a different destination from the surrounding park, grounds or sports site. Confirm visitor arrangements with the site before travelling.

Choose the Right Kew Gardens Gate

Elizabeth, Brentford and Lion Gates are separate entrances with different addresses. A minicab request should specify the gate or the station; check current access information before combining an airport transfer with a garden visit.

Luggage, Access and Your Minicab Meeting Point
Use the current TfL station guide to check the access route that suits your party. This station’s captured record does not provide a sufficiently clear facility summary to infer a complete step-free route. Avoid treating a map pin as proof that a car can reach the exact entrance you will use.
For a minicab at Kew Gardens, give your actual entrance or nearby address, arrival line and luggage count. Agree a permitted road meeting place; the station address and photograph are location references, not waiting instructions.
Airport Taxi Planning from Kew Gardens
For an airport cab from Kew Gardens, start with the station collection address and the airport terminal, rather than only “London airport”. Acton Town is an example of a Piccadilly-line interchange shared with the District network; use TfL’s planner to compare that rail option on the day. A dispatcher must separately confirm the road journey, price, vehicle and any airport charges.
