With William Hogarth’s former home, neo-Palladian Chiswick House, and Kew Gardens all within a twenty-minute stroll from this semi-detached abode, art, creativity, and nature have a huge influence on your surroundings. And you’ll soon find that this is the case inside as well as out. When you see the red bricks and stucco plasterwork of this three-storey townhouse, you’ll be captivated by this Victorian beauty. While celebrities roam on nearby streets, you might start to feel like somewhat of a VIP yourself. Elegant and sophisticated, the first of two sitting rooms oozes opulence – think marble, velvet, and parquet flooring. Then in the other, find a huge space offering modern zen in the most stylish way. Columns, skylights, and an alcove kitchen take on the architecture of a new era, with furniture to match. It feels like you’ve stepped into a double spread of an interior design magazine, and your host certainly hasn’t skimped on exteriors either. Start the day with Earl Grey on the rooftop terrace, admiring sweeping views of your locale. Savour a picnic lunch on the lawn – with flora and foliage to rival Kew – before taking a G&T to the secret patio at the end of the... garden. Finally, end the night with an Old Fashioned by the fire pit in this rare, green oasis of London.

Local guide
About Chiswick
Chiswick is a riverside village turned desirable suburb, where attractive period properties and ample green spaces, together with a vibrant mix of independent shops and restaurants on its leafy High Road attract families who want to retreat to a part of London with a real community feel. It's not the place to stay if you want to explore the city's nightlife, but would be ideal for visitors wanting a peaceful retreat to return to after hectic sightseeing.
Explore the area
Local restaurants, cafes, museums, sites and activities, recommended by our community of hosts and travel experts
Explore the Global Gardens at Kew

Get some Fresh Air at Ravenscourt Park

Take a stroll through Walpole Park
One of the little hidden gems of this area. Walpole park isn't a huge green space but makes for a lovely afternoon in the sun. Especially if you take a spot beside the lake and 200 year old bridge.

After strolling the banks of the Thames, stop for an ale and a bite at the cosy City Barge Pub with its inviting terrace overlooking the river - serving thirsty boatmen since the 14th century.

Great for any meal to be fair, but the succulent buttermilk pancakes and perfectly poached eggs make this an absolute winner for a lazy breakfast or brunch in a warm and welcoming setting.

A lovely little green space in Chiswick, perfect for residents and visitors. Enjoy sitting on the grass, strolling around, and watching kids and dogs play. With a beautiful church and war memorial, it's a charming place to unwind.
