Local guide


About Chiswick

Chiswick is a riverside village turned desirable suburb, where attractive period properties and ample green spaces, together with a vibrant mix of independent shops and restaurants on its leafy High Road attract families who want to retreat to a part of London with a real community feel. It's not the place to stay if you want to explore the city's nightlife, but would be ideal for visitors wanting a peaceful retreat to return to after hectic sightseeing.
