If you want to be 15 minutes from the West End and 15 minutes from Heathrow and appreciate a quite riverside life then buying a house in Chiswick is the place for you. Chiswick's blend of beautiful parks, riverside living and excellent restaurants make it a popular choice for families and a growing number of celebrities.

For the wealthy newcomer the best locations include the waterfront at Strand on the Green and Chiswick Mall, Bedford Park and Grove Park. Family houses in these parts of chiswick rarely come onto the market with prices often in excess of £2million.
