The Brentford & Chiswick Local History Society was established in 1958 to encourage interest in the history of the area and to provide opportunities for members to find out more. You don't have to be an expert to join - just interested!

Our meetings, usually on the third Monday of the month, take place at Chiswick Memorial Club, Bourne Place, off Dukes Avenue opposite Chiswick Library. Most include an illustrated local history talk. Our outings have taken us to a wide variety of places, wherever possible with some connection to the history of our own area. From time to time we also organise a lecture or other event open to non-members, often in Brentford rather than Chiswick.

The Brentford & Chiswick Local History Society is also part of a consortium of local history and family history societies which puts on the West London Local History Conference each spring. This takes a theme which relates to the area and provides a lively programme for a whole day.
