Chiswick is a jewel in the West London crown that occupies a meander of the River Thames. Lying between Kew to the South and Hammersmith to the East, it has something to offer to everyone. From elegant Norman Shaw architecture in Bedford Park to exploring the delights of Devonshire Road and Turnham Green Terrace, this little enclave of West London has no end of culture and charm. Chiswick has a plethora of excellent state and independent schools. Here are a few of the best: Belmont Primary School is a popular state primary school just a short walk from Chiswick High Road and has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Grove Park Primary School is located in a popular family area and has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Chiswick and Bedford Park Preparatory School is situated in Bedford Park close to Turnham Green Tube station and is an independent day school. It prepares boys for preparatory departments of senior secondary schools at 7 and girls are prepared for entry to Independent London Day Schools and Boarding Schools at 11. Falcon School for Boys Pre-Prep is situated in Burnaby Gardens, W4. It is a vibrant independent day Pre-Prep School for boys from 3-7. From the age of 7 boys can then transfer to the Prep School, which is located in Richmond. Latymer Upper School is an independent, co-educational day school taking children from the age of 7 (into the Prep School) through to 18 years. It is situated on King Street in Hammersmith, close to adjoining Chiswick High Road. Head to the Transport for London website to get all the up to date London public transport information. The majority of Chiswick is in the London Borough of Hounslow although some parts of the W4 postcode lie in the London Borough of Ealing. Council tax varies between the boroughs, but Chiswick council tax generally starts at around £935 for Band A and goes up to just above £2700 for Band H. www.hounslow.gov.uk There is an abundance of green, open space in Chiswick including Turnham Green, Chiswick Common, Gunnersbury Triangle, Chiswick House Gardens, which boasts an award winning café, and that is just for starters. Dukes Meadows, land that was formerly owned by the Duke of Devonshire, has now been developed into a recreational centre. It includes a rugby club, football pitches, a hockey club, several rowing clubs and a golf course. And if that is not enough, for those who enjoy life on the water (and in the club bar after some tacking and jibing), there are a number of rowing and sailing clubs such as London Corinthian Sailing Club.Finding Property in Chiswick

What the locals say
I was born here, and i work here in a rubbish clearance company and I can say without a doubt that it is the best district in the entire city of London and you won’t regret if you choose to buy or rent a property here.
