This 4 mile walk began in Turnham Green, one of Chiswick’s original settlements, with a walk round Bedford Park, the World’s first garden suburb. The Civil war Battle of Turnham Green and Hogarth’s statue were followed by a stroll along Chiswick High Road, then along the lane where Linoleum was invented to St Peter’s Square, with fine Georgian houses. After crossing the Great West Road we walked along Chiswick Mall, the finest (and most expensive) street in the area. One Grade 1 listed house was on the market for £18.5M. Then to St Nicholas Parish church where various luminaries are buried, including Hogarth whose little ‘country’ house came next, followed by the glory of Chiswick House and Gardens where we finished the day.
