Chiswick – 6 Quirky Facts
- Cheese Farm
The name Chiswick is believed to derive from the Old English, ‘Ceswican’ which meant ‘cheese farm’. The town grew up around St Nicholas Church and once held a regular cheese fayre. The earliest remains in the area date back to the Roman era when two Roman roads passed through what is now modern day Chiswick. - Not Very Civil
One of the largest battles of the English Civil War took place on Turnham Green. 38,000 men clashed as King Charles I forces marched on London. Having won a battle the day before, the King’s forces were confident but things didn’t go well and Parliament kept London. One Parlimentarian soldier that day was a bloke called Oliver Cromwell. Young ‘Ollie’ went on to become Lord Protector of England having chopped the King’s head off. But it doesn’t end there. After King Charles II was crowned, he wanted Cromwell to be hung, unfortunately for Charles, Cromwell had died, but that didn’t put Charlie off. He had his father’s chief accuser dug up and hung at Tyburn before his head was cut off. Rumours persisted that Cromwell’s family managed to rescue his body. Cromwell’s daughters were buried at St Nicholas Church Chiswick, and when their vault was opened, the vicar’s son said there was a third coffin inside containing the remains of an unknown male. - One More For The Road
If you enjoy the occasional tipple, then you might be pleased to learn that Chiswick has two rather boozy residents that are the toast of London. Fullers Brewery and Sipsmith’s Distillery. Founded in 1845, Fullers don’t just create great beer, they serve it too and own over 300 pubs, the brewery is also home to the UK’s oldest wisteria plant (planted in 1812). Sipsmith’s Gin is a mere pup in comparison, and was formed in 2007 by three martini loving friends. - Over & Under
Chiswick Flyover was opened by none other than Hollywood legend Jayne Mansfield. Yes, one of the world’s biggest stars was flown over, all the way from the U.S. to open… a bridge. It must have been quite a conversation between the starlet and her agent, “So what am I doing today…? Opening a what now?!?” By contrast the Kray Twins probably didn’t seek council permission or headline news when (according to local legend) they made the foundations of the flyover the final resting place of Ginger Marks. - Metropolis
Blink and you’d miss it, but walking down Chiswick High Road you might not realise you’re walking past one of most productive recording studios in the world. Sitting in what was once an old power station, Metropolis Studios have recorded some of music’s biggest stars; Adele, George Michael, Queen, Michael Jackson, Queen, Elton John, will.i.am, Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Kylie, Prince, Ed Sheeran, Rag’n’bone Man, Mark Ronson, Noel Gallagher, Soul 2 Soul… The list is as long as it is impressive! - Slebs
A number of famous faces have been born or grown up in Chiswick including; Hugh Grant, Phil Collins, Kim Wilde, Mel Smith, Kate Beckinsale and Pete Townsend. Chiswick is now a major haunt for celebs and recent residents include; Ant & Dec, Davina McCall, Cara Delevingne, Colin Firth, Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Clare Balding, Rageh Omaar, Jeremy Vine, Mary Nightingale and many more.

About
Chiswick is, was, and will probably always, be cool! Since the arrival of the likes of Hogarth and Yeats, Pissaro and E.M. Forster, Chiswick has attracted artists and artisans. Whether it’s baking bread or laying down a track in one of the world’s top recording studios (hidden in a former power station), Chiswick has that effortless swagger that appeals to true creatives. Shoppers will find something a little bit different too (not easy in a city as diverse as London) and also a genteel energy. And while it is funky, it also feels understated, not as shouty as Camden or Chelsea. Sitting on the edge of the city, Chiswick does feel a little removed and offers a quick escape route. But who wants to escape somewhere this cool?
Leisure
Foodies will find some amazing eateries, there are good cafes and bars, excellent restaurants, street food. Local artisan stores sell everything from handmade chocolate and specialist cheeses, to fine wines and indulgent brownies. Shoppers and design types will also enjoy Chiswick High Road which has some superb shops and stand out stores. There are plenty of outside spaces for fitness fiends, plus cycles paths and routes along the river.
Transport
Gateway to the M4, Chiswick sits on the edge of the city, offering a fast route away from the hustle of London. Heathrow is a quick 14-minute drive, while the centre of London is only 20 minutes by tube. Giving you the best of both worlds (quick getaways and fast routs in), Chiswick sits in Zone 3, of TfL.
