The Perfect Location? Staines-Upon-Thames Has It All for International Traveller

With travel times of just eight minutes to Heathrow Airport by car, and 35 minutes into London by train, Staines-upon-Thames  provides a superb UK base for international buyers for whom convenient travel overseas as well as into the capital is a must. TV personality Nadia Heng, 38, found the perfect place to call home at Berkeley ’s Eden Grove  development, situated in the centre of this Surrey town and where a London lifestyle is on offer – but without the price tag.

After finding the development online and having heard of Staines-upon-Thames through family living nearby, Nadia purchased a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment off-plan at Eden Grove for £357,700. 

Nadia says: “At Eden Grove, I haven’t had to compromise in any way and Heathrow being so close by means the location really couldn’t be better for me. I knew this was the perfect place to put roots down.”

She says: “My career as a media presenter involves a lot of travel to and from Malaysia. Eden Grove is so close to the airport, it’s really well suited for international travel which is so important for me. The quick connections into London mean the location is equally convenient, it’s so useful for work and to see family in the capital.”

Her busy lifestyle and regular travel overseas meant Nadia needed a UK home offering exceptional convenience and added security. At Eden Grove, The Eden Club provides a range of luxury amenities – a rare, value-added offering for residents in the local area – including a 24-hour concierge service, a gym, cinema room and generous co-working space with ultra-fast broadband and a private meeting room. 

Nadia comments: “Eden Grove’s facilities will be great for me and suit my lifestyle as someone who is self-employed. I’m particularly looking forward to using the gym and co-working space. There’s going to be a lovely community feel here! The 24-hour concierge also makes me feel reassured and secure.”

Berkeley’s Eden Grove comprises contemporary light-filled one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Staines-upon-Thames has a rich variety of shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants. Residents can enjoy peaceful walks along the River Thames, and there is a wealth of open green spaces nearby from Virginia Water to Windsor Great Park. Education opportunities for all ages are outstanding.
