LOCAL STREET
LOCAL HANGOUT
Joseph Murphy, Sales Director of Orchards, 020 8995 9797. Interiors of Chiswick would be an absolute first on my list. You can loose yourself in their showroom and inspiration just comes naturally when you are surrounded with well designed items. I would recomend anyone looking for a bespoke but affordable interior design solutions to visit their show room on the high road.
Susan Fitz-Gibbon, Director of Fitz-Gibbon, 020 8892 8921. Church Road in Twickenham offers a special charm of its own, you walk down this historic street and can go back in time if you let your imagination take you there. As you wander down the lane with the river gently passing by on the parallel street you can imagine what it would have been like in times passed.
Philip Wooller, Director of Philip Wooller, 020 8811 2929. The Albertine has something of a student union vibe about it, with closely packed, battered wooden furniture and a blackboard for wine and food specials. It’s a great place to enjoy a bottle of red with friends before or after the cinema or a show at the Bush Theatre.

Matt Thompson, Associate Director of Featherstone Leigh, 020 8994 6567. Chiswick has played a key role in the military history of this country since its defining moment in the Civil War, when the royalists attempts to capture London were halted at Turnham Green. We have also seen off the V2s and produced gunboats from our part of the River Thames.
Gary Sinton, Director of Sinton Andrews, 020 8566 1990. Some people get addicted to the gym, I thankfully don’t, however I do understand the need to keep my creaking body in shape. So twice weekly visits to Bodyline Studio’s in Ealing Broadway keeps me going. Roy Summers and his team of personal trainers offer a varies service to all levels.
Jason Godfray, Branch Manager of Barnard Marcus, 020 8995 2345. Chiswick House has a magnificent neo-Palladian villa set in beautiful historic gardens which hosts many events including; opera, open air theatre, history talks, nature walks, film festivals, dog shows and special children’s activities. A treat for all the family whatever their age.
