Strand on the Green Association
Strand on the Green is located immediately to the east of Kew Bridge, along the north bank of the river Thames. The name is shared by the first part of the road east of Kew Bridge, its continuation on the riverside path, and the area itself.
The area is renowned as a particularly picturesque part of London. A footpath runs along the bank of the river, overlooked by numerous imposing 18th-century houses and local pubs, and, being a low part of the Tideway which has been narrowed with embankments on both banks, is flooded at spring tides; property flooding is rare but has occurred to basements and other storeys before the construction of the Thames Barrier.
The District line and London Overground both cross the river on the railway bridge erected in 1869 between the City Barge and Bull's Head pubs.
Strand on the Green Association (SoGA) was formed in 1959. SoGA seeks to protect the unique character of Strand on the Green, working to improve the environment and preserve the character of this historic area for the benefit and enjoyment of all. The Association preserves records of local interest, arranges social functions and keeps members informed through a bi-annual newsletter (Signals) and Annual General Meeting. Membership is open to anyone who lives in the Strand on the Green area of Chiswick.
