This is a picture gallery of Chiswick, a leafy, attractive, and expensive suburb about six miles west of central London. The area is roughly circular, two miles across, with posh Bedford Park to the north and a long lazy loop of the river Thames to the south.
It's a mostly residential, villagey sort of place, awash with cafes, trees, artists, commuters, and estate agents, with architecture ranging from Palladian Chiswick House to elegant 1880's houses by Norman Shaw and swish twenty-first century offices by Richard Rogers.
