Independent shops
Chiswick has numerous discerning, individualistic, independent shops.
Some are individual independent shops, and some are part of very small chains, and so you won’t find them everywhere.
The main shopping streets are Chiswick High Road, Turnham Green Terrace, and Devonshire Road. All within a few minutes’ walk south from Turnham Green tube station.
