Strand-on-the-Green • Chiswick • UK

From Wikipedia:

Strand-on-the-Green is one of Chiswick’s four medieval villages, and a “particularly picturesque” riverside area in West London. It is a conservation area, with many “imposing” listed buildings beside the River Thames; a local landmark, the Kew Railway Bridge that crosses the River Thames and the Strand, is itself Grade II listed. Oliver’s Island is just offshore.

The area was a fishing village named “Stronde” in 1353. By the 18th century, it had become a place of river-trade with many different businesses. It became fashionable with the opening of Kew Bridge and the presence of the royal family at Kew Palace. Freight traffic declined with the opening of the Grand Junction Canal. Strand-on-the-Green became a residential area in the 20th century. […]

On April 24, 1965, the production of The Beatles’ film “Help!” moved on location to Strand-on-the-Green.

The Beatles were filmed walking down the narrow Post Office Alley and onto the towpath beside the River Thames. Realising they were being pursued by a group of bagpipe players, they ran into the City Barge pub.
