West London’s Brentford is a historic county town in Middlesex; within the London Borough of Hounslow and part of Greater London since the Sixties. The town is found where the River Brent and the Thames meet, some eight miles from Charing Cross. An alternative to riverfront hotspots, Brentford has all the appeal of a cosmopolitan waterside hub without a hefty price tag. The aforementioned river duo flows into the Grand Union Canal; lined with historical pubs and cheerful family-run cafes, it’s just the place for weekend strolls.

Please review your development:
We lived at Apo Kew Bridge from Sept 2022 to Jan 2024, and it was by far the best and happiest place we have ever lived. Unforeseen circumstances meant we had to leave, but we hope to return soon as we have truly loved our time there.
We stayed in two separate furnished apartments during our time, a two-bed and a studio and both were fantastic – lots of natural light, great furniture provided and a fantastic amount of space.
The co-working and shared spaces have been amazing as we both worked from home the majority of the time. It allowed us to work from home without going mad like in lockdown! The gym is brilliant also.
What makes Apo particularly special though is the team. They have been great to us throughout our time there, always incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Not a negative from my point of view, but obviously on Brentford home game days the area gets very busy from around 2 hours before kick off until 2 hours after. Just something to keep in mind!
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Very swiftly and effectively. The Apo team are truly fantastic.
