  • Chiswick Bridge crosses the river to the exclusive district of Kew.
  • A small village originally sprung up around the 12th century St Nicholas Church, while the area as we know it began to develop rapidly in the 19th century.

Architecture and property

Chiswick offers a variety of property types to suit all tastes throughout its well-defined areas. Head to Strand-on-the-Green for small cottages and riverside pubs, the Glebe Estate for striking Victorian terraces or Chiswick Mall for beautiful Georgian houses with separate gardens set directly on the Thames. Edwardian and 1920s houses, many with off-street parking, line the streets of Grove Park, while sought-after Bedford Park is home to large, detached Arts and Crafts houses alongside picturesque Victorian red brick homes designed by renowned architect Richard Norman Shaw.

Green space

Chiswick is known for its abundant green spaces, including Turnham Green, Chiswick Common and Dukes Meadow, which occupies a stunning spot on the Thames. The manicured lawns and boating lakes of Gunnersbury Park are nearby, or residents can make the short trip across the river for a wonderful family day out at The Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew.

What does our local Hamptons community think

I had an exceptional experience with Milaz! They were incredibly patient and responsible, truly going above and beyond in their service. This is by far the best real estate agency I have encountered, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their dedication to ensuring client satisfaction is commendable. Thank you, Milaz, for making my experience so positive!

Handled the sale of my client's property expertly and professionally, throughout a protracted process. The buyer has also left excellent feedback, credit to the team, and Laylee in particular, for managing to keep all parties informed and engaged throughout.

Gary Podemsky April 2024

My wife and I bought a property in Chiswick a month ago and our experience was just worth sharing. We have prior property experience with other property agencies in London but this is our best experience from an estate agency. Our purchase was handled by Laylee Bina of Hamptons, Turnham Green Terrace, Chiswick. We have never seen such level of dedication and focus. Laylee Bina coordinated the various factors in the purchase process, displaying exceptional experience and resilience. This has been our smoothest property purchase experience and and most helpful from an agent. Thanks Laylee Bina. Thanks Hamptons.
