Chiswick: Thames Side Village with a Brewery Past in West London
Chiswick lies on the north bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Hounslow, about six miles west of central London. The population is around 47,000. The area has a distinctly village-like character in parts, particularly along Chiswick Mall and around St Nicholas Church, where the artist William Hogarth is buried. Hogarth's House, a seventeenth-century building where he lived from 1749 until his death in 1764, is now a small museum. Chiswick House, a Palladian villa built by Lord Burlington in the 1720s and set in 65 acres of historic gardens, is one of the finest examples of neo-Palladian architecture in England.
The Fuller's Griffin Brewery operated on the Thames at Chiswick from 1845 until brewing ceased in 2020, when production moved to a new facility. The site is being redeveloped. The Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge passes along the Chiswick stretch of the Thames, and the area has a strong rowing tradition with several clubs on the river. Turnham Green Terrace and Chiswick High Road provide a commercial centre with restaurants, shops, and a local cinema. District Line services from Turnham Green and Chiswick Park stations connect to central London. For adult companionship, English law applies.
