If you can get a table on the riverside balcony it is worth it. This pub boasts the "smallest bar room in the world". It is historic, small and quaint but I avoid it on weekends as it is impossible to get a table outside - unless you are willing to start early! Saying that, if it is raining, the front room is very cosy.

If you have walked to this pub from "home" you deserve a gold star. You have walked along the wonderful Chiswick Mall (real estate envy) and this particular pub has a great terrace. I will add that I tend to not eat at pubs as I can cook better at home so I can't speak for the food here.

Our musems and galleries are free (feel free to donate) so you don't have to obligingly look at it all and leave in a heap. Pop in for a few Canalettos, Caravaggios or a stride nonchalantly pass Vincent and Claude - you can go back again tomorrow.

The building itself is a marvel, especially now with the new extension. I like to pop in and out. One time, they had the famous Salvador Dali lobster phone AND Klein Blue on show. The Rothko room is evocative or just hang out in the turbine hall and enjoy the white noise.

Nestled by Fulham Palace (yes, there is a palace), the park is a good size with lots of nooks. Its riverside row of London Plane trees is perfect. There is a dedicated a great space for families with children that you can avoid if you wish, but it is lovely to see. It is a good place for a picnic.
