Spring Grove in Isleworth is a tranquil oasis within bustling London, offering respite amidst nature's beauty. Take a leisurely stroll along its charming paths or enjoy a picnic by the river Thames before hopping aboard a ferry to visit the historic London Apprentice inn - an enchanting spot that exudes old-world charm since 1926-1927. The Chiswick Empire stands as a testament to Hounslow's cultural scene during the early 20th century. Its grandeur and artistic performances captivated audiences then, just as they continue to do so now. It also played host to monumental events such as being part of England's starting point for flights all the way down under Australia – marking an era when daring aviators defied limits and conquered vast distances through sheer determination. But not all tales are filled with heroics; delve into stories of C18th highwaymen who roamed these roads seeking fortune or infamy. Their legends add another layer of intrigue to Hounslow's history. Strand on The Green Chiswick transports us back even further with Edward Charles Clifford’s artwork capturing scenes from 1905 (c1915).
