Comment on local history on the

Chiswick has quite a number of blue plaques, part of the London wide scheme that marks the residencies of notable inhabitants of an area.

The scheme has been administered by English Heritage since 1986 and been running for over 140 years.

It's thought to be the oldest of its kind in the world and gives a unique view on London's areas and those that have shaped its history.
