Fuller’s: The Brewery Shop – Discovering Chiswick’s ‘Secret’ Shop
19 September 2019
Adrian Southwick (second left) A treasure trove of beers, wines and fantastic gifts – and there’s a 10% discount for locals ‘Many people, even those who have lived in Chiswick for a while, don’t know The Brewery Shop is here,’ says Adrian Southwick, Visitor Centre Manager at Fuller’s Griffin Brewery. ‘We want to change that, particularly since we offer “locals” a 10% discount on our stock.’ Located behind The Mawson Arms, the Brewery Shop was extensively refitted in 2018 and transformed into a stylish, more interesting space. The re-design allowed for the addition of the Pilot Brewery, where the brewing team produce small batch beers, the Growler Bar, where customers can sample barrel-fresh beers and take away a growler (a jug holding three pints approx), and the Tun Room, which is the ideal site for out-of-office meetings (these bookings are often followed by a tour and tasting session in the Hock Cellar). ‘We carry just about every Fuller’s beer (from single bottles to packs), some of our extended family, such as Cornish Orchard cider and Dark Star, the Vintage Ales and speciality beers and a good selection of our wines,’ explains Adrian. ‘In addition, we have a beer-inspired food range […]
Dorota’s Lifestyle Studio – HYPOXI: Slim Down and Tone Up
19 September 2019
Tracey and Dorota Do you need to shift stubborn inches? Tracey Kane has lost 8kg since May, when she started a HYPOXI body-shaping programme at Dorota’s Lifestyle Studio. ‘I needed a kickstart to tone up and diets and other fitness plans hadn’t worked. I used to pass Dorota’s studio regularly and I was curious about HYPOXI – I’d never heard of it – so I did some research. I found the science behind the concept interesting and, after a free taster appointment, I booked a course. ‘HYPOXI has definitely worked for me. The sessions don’t take too much time, they’re easy to do and Dorota is so friendly and makes you feel at home. I’ve actually had to start shrinking my jeans in the hot wash so that I can fit them. I’m delighted with the results.’ As well as specialising in HYPOXI Dorota also offers other health and beauty treatments: laser hair removal, HydraFacials, reflexology, skin rejuvenation, aromatherapy and massage. On 27 September, the Studio team will be taking part in the Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning – it’s the perfect opportunity to find out about HYPOXI, raise funds for an excellent cause and enjoy delicious cake, coffee and […]
Hogarth Youth and Community Centre: Young Lives Matter
18 September 2019
Patrick, Jamilla and Fred The Hogarth Youth Centre has survived losing its local authority funding. But if the team is to expand the opportunities and support it gives young people, the help of the local community is needed… Tucked away at the end of Duke Road is a large anonymous building. With the William Hogarth School and St Mary’s RC Primary School on either side, you might assume that the block is part of their premises. In fact, it’s home to the Hogarth Youth and Community Centre, one of Chiswick’s most socially valuable and perhaps least known charities. ‘This is an affluent area, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t kids here who lack opportunities and for whom deprivation is an issue,’ says Fred Lucas, Finance Director and Chair of the Charitable Trust that oversees the Centre. ‘Our aim is to provide a safe place for those children to play, learn, meet friends and make good choices at a critical time in their lives.’ In 2018 that vision was threatened when the Council withdrew its funding. ‘Like many youth services, we became a victim of austerity cuts,’ explains fellow trustee Patrick Brougham. ‘However, we were determined to carry on and, in […]

Cerys Matthews talks about The Good Life Experience festival
13 August 2019
Cerys Matthews ‘The Good Life Experience is about reconnecting with nature and acknowledging the joys of the simpler things in life’ As the front woman for one of Britain’s most iconic 90’s bands, Cerys Matthews secured hit after hit with Catatonia that captured the public’s imagination. In recent years, as a roving reporter for the BBC One Show and presenter of her own radio programme, the musician has again become a household name. Not content with her already hectic schedule, she has also helped co-found a music festival for families in her home country of Wales. It is amazing how she manages to make time. ‘Modern life is full of temptations and pressing commitments,’ she says from her home in West London. ‘Work, for instance; mine has totally erratic and irregular hours and often entails a lot of travel. I’m also a full time mother of a five, 10 and 12 year old. I run the house and I’m also a wife. ‘But, the Good Life Experience is about reconnecting with nature and acknowledging the joys of the simpler things in life. We live in an increasingly hectic and digitally connected world, so the festival is a real breath of […]
Stephanie Flanders: ‘I’ve been in and around this neighbourhood most of my life’
13 August 2019
Stephanie Flanders ‘I like the fact that my kids are growing up in a mixed and diverse neighbourhood’ As the BBC’s economics editor, Stephanie Flanders became a household name as she relayed to the nation the harrowing financial news following the 2008 recession. Because reporting on such matters requires a certain gravitas, it came as a surprise to many that this serious journalist covering the minutae of an economic storm was also the daughter of one half of a celebrated and world famous comedy duo. Her father, actor and singer Michael Flanders, along with pianist Donald Swann wrote comical songs as Flanders and Swann that they performed around the world in the Fifties and Sixties. Tragically, when Stephanie was just six her father died suddenly while on a family holiday in Wales. In a testimony to West London where he brought his family, his ashes were scattered in Chiswick House on Burlington Lane. Later, a day care centre in Acton – the Michael Flanders Centre –was named after him. It is therefore little wonder that Stephanie and her husband have chosen the local area as the location of their family home with their two children. ‘I have always loved West […]

12 August 2019
Leontine Hass the founder of The Associated Studios, a West London arts academy, is on the hunt for Hammersmith & Fulham talent Tucked away on a residential road a few minutes walk from Barons Court tube is a small building named simply as ‘The Hub’.

In fact, some of the most popular West End shows and most acclaimed operas have been staged involving the studio’s tutors and experts.
