Tube and [[Category London Overground|London Overground]] station in zones 3 and 4, serving the [[Category North London Line|North London Line]] and the [[Richmond Station|Richmond]] branch of the [[Category District Line|District Line]]. The eastbound and westbound platforms are connected by a bridge over the lines and by a subway. The most obvious reason for travelling to this station is to visit [[Kew Gardens]]. ==== Facilities ==== * Newspaper/sandwiches/tea and coffee kiosk outside the barriers on the eastbound side. * Small espresso/cappuccino kiosk (Puccino's) on the eastbound platform. Not open in the late evening (8pm). * Ladies' and gents' toilets on the eastbound platform. Didn't check whether they were open/working. The Railway pub next to the station on the Westbound side is part of a community toilet scheme. There's a fish and chip shop just outside the exit from the westbound platform. Also a corner shop/off-license, and a Chinese takeaway (“Kew Gardens Chinese Takeaway”). More stuff outside the main exit on the eastbound side: Starbucks, [[Spirited Wines, TW9 3PS|a branch of Spirited Wines]], Tesco Express, Barclays and Natwest cashpoints (one is directly outside the station, the other down the road a bit), an ironmonger, the [[Kew Bookshop]], [[Pether Butchers, TW9 3PZ|Pether Butchers]] (a traditional butcher's shop offering free-range meat), a bakers, a fishmongers and a pub called [[Railway, TW9 3PZ|The Railway]] (the pub actually has a view onto the eastbound platform, via large plate-glass windows).
