The Greyhound, 82 Kew Green, Richmond-Upon-Thames, TW9 3AP

This charming mid-terraced building features “Tudor Style” architecture, spanning three storeys plus a partial basement under a pitched, clay-tiled roof. At the front, there’s a small outdoor seating area, while a larger trade patio at the back boasts a retractable roof and patio heaters for year-round enjoyment.

The business is currently food led, with the first floor restaurant, overlooking Kew Green, and the covered and heated courtyard providing an attractive setting for diners. The business also accommodates a local drinks following in the bar area, particularly on match days due to the close proximity of the Brentford Football Clubs Gtech Community Stadium.

The pub is situated on Kew Green, just under 100 metres east of Kew Bridge (A205 South Circular). It is surrounded by mostly low-rise residential buildings, primarily Victorian terraced houses. About 120 metres to the north is the River Thames, and Royal Botanic Gardens is around 350 metres to the west. The nearest train station, Kew Bridge (South Western Railway), is roughly 450 metres to the north and offers frequent services to London Waterloo, with a journey time of just under 30 minutes.

This traditional pub features an open-plan layout with bar, inglenook fireplace, timber flooring and a mix of high and low seating. At the rear of the ground floor, there’s a fully equipped commercial kitchen, along with male and female restrooms for customers.

The first floor restaurant hosts 58 covers, a feature fireplace and displays lovely views over Kew Green.

The basement includes a cold beer store and various general storage areas for ancillary purposes.

The second floor hosts domestic accommodation consisting of two rooms, an office, a WC and a bathroom.

Trade fixtures and fittings in the property are included in the sale.

Experience operating pubs and/or restaurants is critical and will be a requirement of the landlord for them to approve and assignment.
