I wish it were a bit more diverse in terms of who lives there. You can tell that they only people who have lived there and see settled are of a particular background and race which is very unfortunate. There is also no diversity in terms of people who are employed at these shops. Big downside for me and I will personally not visit an establishment once it becomes apparent that they do not hire certain people based on their backgrounds, religion, etc. Unfortunate, that I can't always know this beforehand.
Transport
Bus stops are all along the high Street as well as underground stations. It's very easy to get from over area to another.
Community
None. Very thankful in that aspect. There are many families and older people living in the area, and it's very quiet. It's very safe at all times of the day and night.
Amenities
There are many shops in the area offering high quality products, especially along Turnham Green terrace where you can find a wonderful zero waste shop which us hard to come by, even in London! There is is also a grade A butchers and fishmonger as well as health and wellness store among many other specialty shops. The lovely thing about Chiswick is that there's a charm about it, one you can experience by tasting a gelato from Foubert's, one of many of the older businesses in the area. Chiswick is a wonderful place is you'd like to do some shopping: the Old Cinema sells amazing vintage pieces of furniture and luggage as well as jewellery. If nothing else, it's lovely to come in and browse. You could easily spend an hour or two here! The high Street has all the shops you might be looking for as well as many boutiques selling higher end clothing. We've got Book Case London which is one of the best book shops I've ever come across and the staff are just lovely. You could take a walk to Chiswick House and enjoy the view and the greenery there. It's beautiful and very popular in the spring and summer. What's missing from this area is one thing, a bit of youthfulness. Because of the lack of a movie theatre and music venues, etc.... It's lacking a vibrancy that only a bit of youthful presence can add.
Excellent transport links with good connections from mainline rail,underground and bus services
Living here feels like living in an oversized village . There is a vibrant community with every interest catered for . There are so many lovely open spaces with choices of walking in Chiswick House grounds or walking along the river. As a family we moved out of the area to the suburbs but missed Chiswick so much we moved back after eighteen months .

Community
The pollution is very high in this area due not only to volume of traffic but the area is under the arrival flight path for LHR so consequently very noisy at times .There is a wonderful diaspora of residents which adds to the charm of living here.
Amenities
There is an abundance of shops catering for every need from hi end delis to “pound shops”.Also a selection of hi street supermarkets with a Sainsburys Waitrose and M&S.There are numerous hogtie type shops so great for browsing in and several book shops .A good selection of fashion wear shops but mostly pricey.As with anu hi street there are also many charity shops ranging from the regular Cancer Research to the very popular Oxfam book shop,
