APO Kew Bridge review

Verified Resident
Apo Kew Bridge, TW8
Nov 2025
Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Kew Bridge is a lovely area, it’s close to Chiswick and Richmond for big, known stores but at the same time not so busy as those neighborhoods. The essentials are covered: supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, coffee shops, gyms; And most importantly, it’s very well connected: district line 10 min walk and the train station just outside the development. Despite not being crowded every time, finding a parking spot is hard, as there are many buildings and most of the surrounding streets are for permit holders only. APO for instance has parking spaces available but because of the stadium it’s inconvenient: if a match takes place on a weekend (which basically happens every other weekend) you can’t use the parking road 2 hours before and after the match.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Fast, assertive, and very helpful. Everything was sorted every time we had an issue, luckily it wasn’t that many, but they’ve been always mindful about our needs
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Every week they bring a food truck where residents can buy at discounted prices, it’s a nice initiative… but, if your flat view is the central square between Galleria, Marsden and the stadium, the smell is not nice, mostly in the summer
