   From Birmingham you have a choice of three train operating companies to get you to London; Virgin, London Midland or Chiltern. Price-wise, Chiltern is probably the cheapest, but check out each operator’s website for any deals they may have.
   Virgin and London Midland run to London Euston, Chiltern runs to London Marylebone; it’s relatively easy to get to Kew from either.
   From Euston you could either take the Northern Line (Charing Cross branch) south to Embankment or the Victoria Line south to Victoria. From Embankment or Victoria take a westbound District Line service that’s going to Richmond, that will take you straight to Kew.
   If you opt to travel to London with Chiltern Trains, take the circle or Hammersmith & City line from Marlylebone one stop westbound to Edgeware Road and change to a District Line train there.

   Birmingham to London EUSTON. From Euston take the Victoria Line southbound and change at Green Park for the Jubliee Line to Waterloo. From Waterloo take an overhead train to Kew.
   There is a train for Kew Gardens departing Waterloo every 15 minshttp://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/en/pj/tt
   There are two stations serving Kew – Kew Bridge & Kew Gardens.
   See map below. . . http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=…
   Kew Bridge is north of the Thames and Kew Gardens is south.
   Please note: If you travel to Kew by Tube it will take all day, the fastest route is the one I have given above.
   Trust me, I’m a Londoner. . .

   I agree, Euston, then change onto Victoria Line to Victoria, then District Line,westbound to Kew,if you are going to Kew Gardens, follow signs from station.( Make sure you get the Richmond train & not Wimbledon)

   (Re LJW answer above, also make sure you don’t get a Circle or Ealing train.)
