If Chiswick was a country then going for coffee would be its national sport. You’re spoilt for choice for cafes here and can’t go wrong with any of them. Get off at Turnham Green Tube, meander down Turnham Green Terrace, then stroll down the High Road, checking out Devonshire Road on the other side, stopping for coffees as often as your time and bu...
Strand-on-the-Green is quite possibly the most beautiful street in London. Gorgeous envy-inducing houses line this river walkway, but anyone can enjoy the beautiful view.

Stroll down the cobbled street to St Nicholas Churchand it will seem as though you’ve stepped back in time. Which in a sense you have. This is old Chiswick, where the village sprung up around the church in the 11th century. Keep your eyes peeled for painter William Hogarth's grave.
On a hot day, it’s not rare to see a queue stretching down the road from Foubert'sice cream parlour, where the ice cream is lovingly handmade on the premises. Try the blue banana flavour or the zesty lemon sorbet! This place is not so much an ice cream cafe as a Chiswick institution.
