Florence Gardens

The site is located on Florence Gardens in Chiswick, opposite Fauconberg Court.

It is approximately 0.4 miles to the north west of Chiswick and 0.6 miles to the south east of Gunnersbury railway stations. The former is served by regular South Western Railway trains to London Waterloo, Weybridge and Hounslow, while the latter provides Overground services between Richmond and Stratford. The local bus network is accessible from nearby Sutton Court Road.

The predominant use in the immediate locality is residential with the exception of a primary school to the south east of the site. In total, the site is approximately 0.061 acres (0.025 ha) in size and comprises a row of thirteen garages and hardstanding. The north western site boundary abuts an electricity substation. Florence Gardens border the site from the north east, with the flatted block of Fauconberg Court and associated amenity grassland on the other site of the street. A car park belonging to Grove Park Primary School sits to the south east of the site. The site is bound by the rear gardens of a row of terraced houses from the south west.
