My reply was somewhat tongue in cheek but to be honest, I don't see that Chiswick, barring Strand-on-the-Green, is anything much to shout about, in particular the High Street. There is a Heritage Walk or two which starts from Goddard's Corner, details of which can no doubt be found in the What's On section if you are interested. I have been on both walks in the past. One of the charms of Brentford is that it has both the river and the canal. It is also a very friendly place - I know of a number of people who have moved away and then returned as well as one person who moved three times within Brentford, each time to a road parallel to the one they were already in. I am just hoping that the plans which are about to be discussed (27.11) for the development of the High Street come up with something good - apparently Waterman's will be moved to this new venue. |
