Chiswick

About Chiswick
Chiswick is an enchanting - and expensive - area of west London, set on the edge of one of the Thames' sweeping loops. And while its beautiful riverside scenery is perhaps its biggest draw, Chiswick has many other attractions: great stretches of green land; historic houses; leafy avenues filled with handsome Edwardian and Victorian homes; easy road and rail links in and out of London; and a lively, boulevard-style High Road whose tree-lined pavements offer all the important contemporary shopping options as well as a thriving restaurant, bar and café culture with outdoor tables. Traditionalists, however, may prefer the atmosphere of the 19th Century pubs scattered along the long thoroughfare.
