Unfortunately there is no point-to-point NR season available for this
journey.

However, after a bit of digging, there's one available from Kew
Gardens to Wimbledon at £60.70 for a monthly.


Twickenham is gated. So not too sure if a Kew Gardens bought ticket
will open the gates.


In that case the staff should let the holder through. Refusal would be
a legitimate cause for complaint, although if there's constant hassle
it might not be worth it depending on how keen one is to save a few
quid.

Kew Gardens being on the NLL will be joining the zonal fare system
anyway.
So you might find that ticket is not available anymore.


In that case the fallback option would be a Twickenham to South Merton
season, which is a fair bit pricier at £76.10, but still saves £13.00
on a Z2-5 or Z3-6 Travelcard (and is definitely valid via both
Kingston and Clapham Junction).
