Chiswick High Road contains a mix of retail, restaurants, food outlets and expanding office and hotel space. The wide streets encourage cafes and restaurants to provide pavement seating. Chiswick is home to the Griffin Brewery, where Fuller, Smith and Turner brew their prize-winning ales. In 2007, Chiswick was voted the 8th most expensive place to live in the UK. Artist William Hogarth lived in the area, and is buried in St Nicholas churchyard.
Chiswick was originally located in Middlesex, but was incorprated into Greater London in 1965 as London expanded into the surrounding urban areas. Now, Chiswick is part of the London Borough of Hounslow and is nearly six miles outside Central London. The southern part of Chiswick borders the River Thames, offering some unrivalled views from residential properties and hotels.
Location-wise, Chiswick is considered ideal for professional commuters as well as visitors. As it is to the West of London, Chiswick is conveniently situated for those wanting access to the M25, M4 and Heathrow Airport.
This is not to say that Chiswick itself does not have its own attractions and many people visit the area for the array of retail and food outlets that are on offer, as well as a trip to the famous Griffin Brewery!
