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, and seasoned beer-drinkers are warmly invited to tour Fuller Smith & Turner's Griffin Brewery, the capital's last surviving family brewer. The most exclusive part of Chiswick is the discreetly wealthy Bedford Park to the north, while the riverside, south, has long been home to the rich and famous, especially along the picturesque pathway at Strand On The Green - an ideal vantage point for the Oxford and Cambridge rowing contest, and the annual Great River Race spectacular. Not far away is Dukes Meadows, a waterside park incorporating a golf course and other sporting facilities. The adjacent Grove Park Farm House also provides for sport as well as artists' studios and a farmers' market, and just a short walk away, Chiswick House, a splendid Palladian mansion, exhibits fine paintings and furniture. Its grounds, including a large lake, wonderfully combine formality with wild natural expanses. Less perfectly located is the former home of artist and engraver William Hogarth, also built in the early 1700s, which has now become isolated from the village area due to roaring traffic systems but is certainly worth visiting, if only to see Hogarth's mulberry tree, still prospering in the garden.
