About Chiswick
Chiswick is a district of west London, England, and part of the London Borough of Hounslow. It contains Hogarth's House, the former residence of the 18th-century English artist William Hogarth; Chiswick House, a neo-Palladian villa regarded as one of the finest in England; and Fuller's Brewery, London's largest and oldest brewery. It occupies a meander of the River Thames which is heavily used for competitive and recreational rowing, and Chiswick itself is home to several clubs. The finishing post for the Boat Race is just downstream of Chiswick Bridge.
The area was historically an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex, with an agrarian and fishing economy. Having good communications with London from an early time Chiswick became a popular country retreat, and as part of the suburban growth of London in the late 19th and early 20th centuries the population significantly expanded. It became the Municipal Borough of Brentford and Chiswick in 1932 and formed part of Greater London since 1965, when it was merged into the London Borough of Hounslow. Chiswick has a number of named sublocalities: Bedford Park, Grove Park, the Glebe Estate, Strand-on-the-Green and those with named tube stations Turnham Green, and Gunnersbury all within its three full-sized wards of the United Kingdom.
Other parts of the W4 postcode area, including Chiswick Park tube station, Acton Green, and much of Bedford Park are in the London Borough of Ealing.
