Chelsea to Chiswick.—_Battersea Park_, elsewhere described, is just opposite Chelsea. Beyond the park are _Battersea_ and _Wandsworth_, places containing very few objects of interest; and backed by _Clapham_ and _Wimbledon_, where many London merchants and tradesmen have their private residences. Beyond Wandsworth lie _Putney_, _Barnes_, and _Mortlake_, where the river makes a great bend towards Kew. Between Putney and Kew many _Regattas_, or boat-races, take place during the summer; especially the famous annual contest, from Putney to Mortlake, between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge: these are among the most pleasant of the up-river scenes. Omnibuses, steamboats, and the South-Western Railway, give abundant accommodation to the places here named. On the Middlesex side of the river, just beyond Chelsea, are _Cremorne Gardens_. Next, we get into a region of Market-Gardens, from which London is supplied with vast quantities of fruit and vegetables. _Walham Green_, _Parson’s Green_, and _Fulham_, lie in the immediate vicinity of these gardens. Strangers would find an hour or two pleasantly spent hereabouts. The bishops of London have their palace at Fulham, a picturesque old structure. After passing _Hammersmith_, where there is a pretty suspension bridge, we come to _Chiswick_, noted for its market-gardens; here is the house in which Hogarth died; and in the churchyard is his tomb, with an inscription by David Garrick. The Duke of Sutherland has a fine mansion at Chiswick; and near at hand are the old gardens of the Horticultural Society. [Picture: Palm-House, Kew Gardens]
