How bad the management team were going to be! However, we have loved the surrounding area we have lived in for nearly 3 years now

The location is very convenient for in/out of town commute by train - it takes 30 minutes to central London and the same time to country-side, great bus links, too. Both bus and train stations are on the doorstep. There is a small Sainsbury's and some take-out food outlets just across the road. Easy walk to Chiswick for nice coffee shops, cute flower stalls, and markets. Riverside is perfect for runners (it is not too crowded like in other parts of London) and it is also such a pretty walk.

Not a negative from my point of view, but obviously on Brentford home game days the area gets very busy from around 2 hours before kick off until 2 hours after. Just something to keep in mind!
