- Start at Kew bridge (north of the Thames).
- Walk to the Thames and take the Thames path Eastwards.
- There a bunch of nice pubs here to take a drink to start your walk.
- Just after the railway bridge take a left up to Annie’s for a snack if you’re hungry.
- If you are interested in Catchment areas this is a good part of town to check out. It’s called Strand-On-The-Green and has an outstanding school.
- If you are interested in sports continue along the Thames to Dukes Meadows which is a giant place to play football, rugby, and golf.
- If not walk towards Chiswick station. This part of town is called Grove park and is nice to live in. It’s a little secluded and is for people who like a village feel.
- If it’s Sunday stop at the Chiswick farmers market at Alexandra Gardens. It has a nice Columbian snack stand.
- Then cross Burlington Lane to enter and walk through Chiswick House and Gardens. The café there is beautiful but the food not so special.
- Exit through the north exit at the highway and Dukes avenue. Cross the highway through the subway.
- Go up Dukes Avenue.
- Now: if you feel like a roast go through the Barley Mow passage at your left (just before the church) to the Lamb.
- If you feel like a drink turn right on Chiswick High Road and have a cocktail or aperitif at the Chiswick Fire Station.
- If you prefer a beer stop at the George IV, if weather permits in the garden.
- If you are interested in Catchment areas this is another good part of Chiswick to check out property (Belmont school).
- Otherwise take a right at Devonshire Road (at the corner of Lea & Sandman’s) and checkout the Frivoli shop.
- Have some cake at Urban Pantry.
- Go back to the High Road and check out the Old Cinema a bit to the Northeast of you.
- Dinner time now? Head to Charlotte’s Bistro on Turnham Green Terrace (the street at the Snappy Snaps).
- If you continue down the road there is an excellent sushi place on your left, though better for takeaway than a romantic dinner.
Other good food options:
- La Vacherin, which is a proper French Bistro and our favourite (that’s the place for the romantic dinner!)
- La Trompette, which has a Michelin star and is much cozier than it looks like from the outside
- Hedone, if you feel like more innovative food.
- Afterwards continue northwards through Turnham Green Terrace to the roundabout.
- To your right is a nice residential area called Bedford Park that you may check out if you are into cute Victorian houses with beautiful gardens.
- Continue Eastwards along Bath Road. You will pass the Arts School which has classes for dancing and acting.
- Finish at the Oak (it’s a bit of a walk there), my favourite pub of all times. They have pizza too if you are hungry by now.
- If you liked Chiswick so much that you would like to stay go north on Askew Road and stop at Haus properties, which is our real estate agency. http://www.hausproperties.co.uk/tenants.html
