Chiswick

The whole point of going to Chiswick was to have dinner at the surprisingly reasonably-priced and not too snooty La Trompette. However, we didn't just want to go there to eat. A couple of hours were spent exploring Chiswick. By the end of the evening, I was absolutely charmed by the town.

Chiswick is very picturesque. With the little sunlight we have, we wandered around the town and to Chiswick House. The town has managed to preserve many of its 18th - 19th century buildings and provide visitors with an insight of its architectural history.

The main road (Chiswick High Road) is home to many boutiques and cafes not found in town. (This High Road and Main Street thing, heheheh. I've been told that in London, people call the main streets 'High Road'. Only in US then it's called Main Street. Okay. High Road it is.) Very refreshing. It gave me such joy to stroll down the street, peering into the shop windows, checking out the wares and sitting down to tea before dinner. What a lovely recommendation of a dinner venue by the girlfriend.

And yes, another Oxfam bookstore sitting in Chiswick is checked off. Heeee.
