Where to stay in Chiswick
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Chiswick suits travellers who want a riverside London base with rowing water and grand villas close by. Beds sit back from the River Thames near St Nicholas Church. The river sets the pace.
If you would rather wake close to Chiswick House and the Boat Race finish at Chiswick Bridge than deep in the centre, Chiswick keeps Hounslow, Ealing and the reach toward Hammersmith within an easy run.

About Chiswick
What are the main landmarks in Chiswick?
Chiswick House anchors the district, a neo-Palladian villa in its own grounds. Hogarth's House kept the painter William Hogarth, whose tomb lies in the churchyard of St Nicholas Church. Along the river stand old houses like Walpole House and Emery Walker's House, and cricket is played at the Chiswick Park Cricket Ground.
Fuller's Brewery, one of London's oldest, works nearby. Much of it faces the water.
What is the history of Chiswick?
Chiswick grew as a riverside village on a meander of the River Thames, its parish gathered around St Nicholas Church. The painter William Hogarth kept a house here in the eighteenth century, when the place was still fields and orchards beyond the city. Boats always mattered.
Building later filled the ground between Hounslow and Ealing, though the river work, from Fuller's Brewery to the rowing crews, held on.
Where is Chiswick?
Chiswick lies in West London on a bend of the River Thames, split between Hounslow and Ealing, near Hammersmith and Chiswick Bridge.
