Riverside green space at Emanuel Hollow, Dukes Meadows gets a revamp
3 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Hounslow Council has announced the completion of major improvement works at Emanuel Hollow, the green space nestled within Dukes Meadows beside the Thames in Chiswick.
The project marks what the council describes as a significant milestone in transforming one of the borough's valued riverside areas. Dukes Meadows is a popular destination for Chiswick residents year-round — used for walking, cycling, sport and simply enjoying the river — so the timing, with summer properly under way, should mean the improvements get plenty of use almost immediately.
The council has not yet published a full breakdown of what the works involved, but the announcement points to the site having been meaningfully upgraded rather than just maintained. Full details are on the Hounslow Council website.
Dukes Meadows runs along the south bank of the Thames between Chiswick Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge, and Emanuel Hollow sits within that stretch. It is freely accessible to the public at all times. Worth a visit this weekend while the warm weather holds.
