Out & About Chiswick walk, London
14 March 2010: Out & About Chiswick walk
This month Out and About returns to west London.
Chiswick established itself on the north bank of the Thames a few miles west of London. Its one and only street – Church Street – led north away from the river towards the main road heading west out of London.
The village tended to regard the river as its main livelihood. The parish church was dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen – Nicholas – and a ferry ran from the foot of Church Street until 1934, the year after Chiswick Bridge opened.
From as early as the mid 15th century Chiswick was known to city-dwellers as an attractive and healthy place to live. The Russell family, later Dukes of Bedford, lived to the west of the village from 1542. In the late 17th and early 18th centuries, people began to build fine houses in Church Street and along the riverside lane, which eventually became Chiswick Mall, one of the finest riverside promenades along the Thames.
The walk in fact stretches from Hammersmith Bridge all along the riverside as far as Chiswick Wharf, before turning inland to see Chiswick House, a fine Palladian style villa, Hogarth House, where the artist lived from 1749 to his death in 1764. It finishes at the Tabard Pub, a grade 2 listed building near Turnham Green tube station (District line).
