Chiswick, Wentworth

Chiswick (/ˈtʃɪzɪk/) is an inner-city suburb in the Wentworth central business district. It is located on the eastern bank of the Swan River, across from Chinatown.

Chiswick is a densely populated suburb with highly varied land use. Historically known for its garden landscapes and Victorian-era terrace houses, the suburb has undergone major redevelopment since the 1980s. Modern skyscrapers now dominate the suburb's waterfront southeast, while the northeast corner retains the area's historical character and the local shopping strip. The suburb is also home to Shinjuku railway station, one of Wentworth's two main heavy rail terminals, Shinjuku HSR station, the city's high-speed rail hub, and the Chiswick Parliamentary Gardens, immediately south of Parliament House. The main thoroughfares through Chiswick are Gannons Road (north-south) and Shinjuku Road (east-west).
