02 Feb 2024I walked from Chiswick (Turnham Green) to Hammersmith.
A simple direct route no problems with accuracy that I noticed.
Fascinating shops, lots of bike and outdoor shops. Lots of interesting buildings.
Good route.

04 Jan 2022I walked this route from Chiswick to Hammersmith on a rainy January morning.
The route was fine - good pavement surfaces, interesting shops, and direct. But it was, as the other reviewers noted, a bit noisy along the major roads. Not the most pleasant slow ways route I’ve ever walked, but it definitely does the job of connecting these two points with a safe, direct, and accessible link!.

23 Oct 2021Direct route along the main road, it can be noisy and busy. I walked from Hammersmith to Chiswick. It was fascinating to watch the way Hammersmith dissolves out and Chiswick dissolves in.
Plenty of diverting shops - food, groceries, coffee, charity shops, books.

28 Aug 2021Well, this is not the most exciting Slow Way but it fits the criteria. It's not an unpleasant walk along King St and the Chiswick High Road.

23 Apr 2021 (edited 27 Jun 2023)Would take a small diversion and go through Ravenscourt Park and the back streets either side of that.
