Askew

Askew Road runs through this residential neighbourhood in west London, characterised by its Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses. The area functions as a local high street, lined with independent shops, cafes, and traditional pubs that serve the community. It maintains a quieter, village-like atmosphere compared to busier nearby centres, with Grove Park providing green space for recreation. The local architecture and street plan are typical of London's inner suburbs developed in the late 19th century.

A notable local landmark is the Askew Arms pub, a longstanding fixture that anchors the road. The area is well-connected by several bus routes along Askew Road and Uxbridge Road, with transport hubs like Shepherd's Bush and Acton within walking distance. Starch Green is a small, triangular common at the western end of the road. The area's name is believed to derive from a local family or a field boundary, reflecting its pastoral history before urbanisation.
