The A316, known in parts as the Great Chertsey Road, is a major road in England, which runs from the A315 Chiswick High Road, Turnham Green, Chiswick to join head-on the M3 motorway at Sunbury-on-Thames. Its initial London section (to the Hogarth Roundabout) heads south — following this it is a mostly straight dual carriageway aligned WSW.
Outward from London the road starts as Chiswick Lane at Chiswick, between 75 and 79 Chiswick High Road (51°29′35″N 0°15′06″W / 51.493056°N 0.251667°W). Near the geographical centre of Chiswick it crosses the A4 at the Hogarth Roundabout, the connection for central London, the west of England, and South Wales. The road goes on past the grounds of Chiswick House as Burlington Lane, and then becomes Great Chertsey Road, passing Chiswick School. It then crosses the Thames on Chiswick Bridge.
