Open Chiswick 2009

Open Chiswick is about further revealing Chiswick's remarkable natural, cultural and built heritage to both residents and visitors.

If you have not yet had the chance to explore this beautiful, romantic and diverse part of riverside London, choose any weekend this coming September to sample the very best of what Chiswick has to offer. September is 'festival month' in Chiswick. Each weekend over the course of this month is filled with events and activities that showcase both the area's rich history and culture and a confident and dynamic future.

Local residents and visitors alike will be amazed at how important the River Thames has been, and continues to be in shaping Chiswick as we see it today. You will be amazed at how integral Chiswick has been to London's cultural and built heritage, especially within the context of London's Arcadian Thames.

Please do print out the map and the list of planned activities and then either explore on foot or by push-bike. Be prepared to have one of London's most compelling and important riverside'villages' revealed to you.
