Our end of Chiswick getting better but dosent have a up market feel due to level of cleanliness the streets My main concern is the railway bridge by Kew Gardens station both sides. It was blocked with concrete ballard a long time ago but it made a pavement more dangerous right next to a very busy road. Lots of little school kids on scooters and push chairs and dog walkers a complete nightmare part of the road. The bridge has to be repaired some other way and pedestrians must have the full width of the pavement back especially in a present climate of distance!!!Something must be done. Every time there some improvement to other parts but not this one.
Transport
We are very close to the overground train and to the tube. Lots of buses. I never used a night bus. Travelling to Putney if the overground is out is inconvenient with bus changes.

parking is the main problem on my street. Quite often if you coming late there will be no parking at all. People are forced to park at night on double yellow line. During the day taxi drivers waiting in the spaces for residents. It used to be a lot of traffic in rush hour and we had 2 big accidents in the last 4 years alone. However, it is quiet since the road was blocked by the council on the 4 th of June 2020
Amenities
We have a good bûcher which also hase fish and delicatessen but a little pricy. We have two corner shops and Sainsbery’s local. Missing a good bakery.
I think Chiswick is safe for a city and people are very mindful about needs of children, families, older people
I think Chiswick is safe for a city and people are very mindful about needs of children, families, older people and the like. There are good open spaces at the river, Chiswick House, Turnham Green and Acton Green and everyone uses them well and shares with each other well- you don't get antisocial behaviour and the parks are kept clean. I think Chiswick is quite chic but also does have a lot of interesting places if you like design for example the old cinema has wonderful vintage furniture and is a real treasure trove.
Transport
Chiswick is well served by public transport being on 3/4 underground lines (Chiswick Park, Turnham Green, Stamford Brook and Ravenscout Park- if the District line isn't working this is a problem but you can take a bus to Shepherd's Bush (the 94) or several to Hammersmith. There is also a national rail station which is a bit of a walk from the High Road but the bus is quick- that is good for connecting to Putney, Richmond, Barnes and Waterloo. Finally in the Chiswick Park area of Chiswick there is South Acton overground which is a great link up to North London- you can be at Hampstead Heath in twenty minutes!
Community
Chiswick is a friendly, neighbourly area in my experience. Parking is available, if you are a resident parking you will find a space, you may need to park on another road at a very busy time like Sunday night but otherwise parking is good and people are helpful to each other. Rubbish collections are bi-weekly but I think that is an across London issue- it can get a bit tricky at very busy times when everyone is home like Christmas or the height of Summer but the tip is nearby and Sainsbury's has great recycling if your bin gets too full. My street is mostly owners and some renters I think and everyone is nice and helpful.
Amenities
Chiswick has a great selection of high street names and independent shops. Chiswick High Road itself has everything you need with a large supermarket (rare for a London high street) and many well known restaurants, fashion brands (Mint Velvet, Jigsaw) and lifestyle and furniture brands (sofa workshop, Oliver Bonas). There are also a wide range of small and medium independent and boutique shops. Devonshire Road has fashion, jewellery, art and home type shops whilst Turnham Green terrace has a butcher, fishmonger, wellness shops, two grocers and many delis (and also a beautiful toy shop and stationary shop). Chiswick is also well served for book shopping with several independents and a large, friendly Waterstones.

It is a great area which should suit most needs and the space would make it a good place for children or pets.
