Despite parts of Chiswick being in Zone 2, this well-to-do corner of West London boasts all the charm of an idyllic village with its picturesque green spaces, boutique shops and charming period homes. Indeed, Chiswick House and Gardens is one of the most popular landmarks to visit in the area, a stunning 18th century villa set in 65 acres of manicured gardens that plays host to Tom Kerridge’s Pub in the Park food festival every year. Just a short stroll from the centre lies the River Thames which is perfect for lazy walks with friends and family at the weekend, while Gunnersbury Triangle, Acton Green Common and Turnham Green are all a short walk from the main high street.  

In fact, Chiswick High Road is home to a large chunk of the neighbourhood’s cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs, from charming independent spots to well-loved chains. Stretching all the way from Chiswick roundabout to Stamford Brook, you’ll find that many of Chiswick’s best restaurants lie on its high street, although don’t be afraid to venture further afield to uncover even more hidden gems. The Bulls Head is a fantastic pub with stellar views of the river, while Michelin-starred La Trompette is tucked away on Devonshire Road.
