Editorfrom the
Dear Resident,
I am happy and excited to be launching the Fulham Residents’ Journal and, in turn, to be bringing you a topical local handbook in luxury
format. What more obvious a way to mark our entrée in the area than by exploring Peterborough Estate, that group of streets united by lion
statues and a fascinating history. Turn to page 4 and learn about the former stomping-ground of Voltaire. From France to India, we unearth
some inspiring speeches on page 16 made by unlikely former Fulham resident, Mahatma Gandhi. These should bring intellectual bite to your
coffee break. As you will discover, whilst in London in 1931 he had plenty to say.
Fulham has some excellent schools and discerning parents, which is why we have dedicated two pages to local educational news. Have a look
at pages 22-23 and see if your school is featured. On a practical note, catch up with local news on page 6, and make sure you’re au fait with
the most worthy local summer events on page 10. This is just a taster of the inaugural issue. We wish you a wonderful late summer and look
forward to interacting with you, the reader, and becoming your local reference for all things newsworthy in SW6 and beyond.
We would highly value any feedback that you wish to email us with:
editor@residentsjournal.co.uk; or telephone us on 020 7987 4320.

Between 1800 and 1900 a whole terraced housing
kingdom was sprinkle-dusted upon Fulham and
the Peterborough Road was no exception. In
tandem with this change came the resurrection of an area
– almost a concept, even – known at The Peterborough
Estate. Not a genuine estate it is rather a small cross
section of roads underpinned by Studdridge Street and
proudly showcasing streams of two-storey, red brick, half-
gabled terraces.
Peterborough Road in all its residential glory was
laid out in 1861 and the surrounding streets fell – or
rather rose – like domino effect. In fact, prior to the 1600s
Peterborough Road was known as Parsons Green Lane.
The name change was the result of the construction
of Peterborough House on a twenty-acre site opposite
Parsons Green. It was the residence of the Mordaunt
family – several generations of Earls of Peterborough – and
became renowned for its beautiful gardens.
Claim to particular fame for the area came with
Charles Mordaunt, 3rd Earl of Peterborough, entertaining
many literati of the day at the House, among them
Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and Voltaire. Swift
was a particular admirer of the 3rd Earl (a figure who
incidentally captured Barcelona in 1705) and even
dedicated a poem to him; one which joked about the
Earl’s itchy feet. In it, Swift’s satirical tongue is clear, all
of the artFrom balustraded balconies to regal lion finials, Alice Tozer undergoes a whirlwind historical tour of Fulham’s Peterborough Estate

the while referring to the Earl as ‘Mordanto’:
Mordanto fills the trump of fame,
The Christian world his deeds proclaim,
And prints are crowded with his name.
In journeys he outrides the post,
Sits up till midnight with his host,
Talks politics, and gives the toast.
Knows every prince in Europe’s face,
Flies like a squib from place to place,
And travels not, but runs a race.
From Paris gazette à-la-main,
This day arriv’d, without his train,
Mordanto in a week from Spain. […]
A man of endless words, Swift also dubbed the Earl
‘the ramblingest, lying rogue on earth, a hangdog whom
I dearly love’.
Peterborough House sat roughly where Quarrendon
and Chipstead Streets do today. By name, Perrymead
Street pays tribute to the garden’s orchards for it was on
this terra firma that the road was built. The House went
on to become a lunatic asylum and was demolished
around 1900. It was on this same orchards-that-were
strip of land that famed builder of the area and Irish lad,
Jimmy Nichols, made real in-roads on the Estate in 1888.
He erected modest terraced houses at a rate of
knots along Peterborough and Coniger Roads, which
in turn went for sale for a snatch at £300. He had
the advantage of playing with lovely wide streets and
managed to achieve a unified appearance across the
space and consequent aesthetic draw. His trademark
became terracotta lion finials, the number of which – or
so the story goes – he over-ordered and dealt with the
mess up by giving every house one to share with the
neighbours on top of their own one-per-household quota
of Nichols-carved Felidae. Nichols’ houses range from
2,000 to over 4,000 square feet in size and are often
dubbed ‘wider than average’ homes.
The Peterborough Estate as it is conceived on
the map today comprises a ladder of roads, from
Peterborough Road on the south-west, to Wandsworth
Bridge Road on the east, funneling into an add-on nose
further east still until Bagleys Lane. On Studdridge Street
(somewhat the apex of the network) numbers 173 to
191 and the odd houses of 193 to 207 were designed by
Nichols to have shops on the ground floor and residential
accommodation above. Happily, some of the units retain
their original shop-front design. These properties are
particularly attractive shop-and-digs combos. On the
same street, between numbers 165 and 171, terracotta
balustrades and a profusion of lion finials come out of the
woodwork. The odd numbers from 123 to 145 each sport
characteristic Jimmy Nichol-style gables (that part of a
wall that encloses the end of a pitched roof) and paired
entrance porches. The aforesaid gables are pebble-
dashed with bulls-eye windows saving those at either end
which show off Dutch gables. Some lament the plethora
of mansard (French-style) roof extensions that have been
carried out since in the area, particularly given that this
street is a major aspect of the Estate’s conservation area.
The Peterborough Estate’s conservation zone is
known officially as Studdridge Street Conservation Area
and was determined as such in 1975. The Borough of
Hammersmith & Fulham has forty-five such protected
areas but these days it’s harder to become one owing to
ever-stricter criteria. Essential qualities to be rendered
such were a certain level of decoration and architectural
embellishments appropriate to the late Victorian or early
Edwardian period and the Peterborough Estate is over-
spilling with the stuff: red brick, slate, terracotta friezes at
eaves level, cambered window heads and ornate timber
balustraded balconies. The fundamental aim of such
designated locations is to protect the building and design
of the area. In theory owners do not have the right to
alter front roofs, gables, door and window openings; nor
to paint brickwork or alter ornamental features. Porches
ought not be erected either. Most Estate houses would
still be recognisable in isolation because of their timber,
sliding sash windows even if not these other elements. A
Nichols lion guarding fort – which may not be tampered
with – also rarely fails to give the game away.
Road names in the Estate have their characterful
histories too. Many are inspired by Kent villages because
many early Fulham inhabitants hailed from the county,
having left their agriculturally centred lives to come to the
big smog and work as manual laborers. Builder supreme
Jimmy Nichols is thought to have penned his influence
when naming Coniger Road after Conigar mountain
near his home in County
Cork. Alas, he was more
of a handyman than a
grammar one and went
awry with the
spelling. Still, much
like a gapped
tooth, it adds
charm to beauty
and, in the words
of frequent visitor
to the Earl, Mr Pope,
‘Whoever thinks a
faultless piece to see,
thinks what ne’er was,
nor is, nor e’er shall be’.

A local news round-up for the summer season in Fulham
The Notebook
Fulham’s reputation continues to flourish, both in the pricier neighbouring Royal Borough
postcodes and further afield. Families and professionals looking to put down roots in
SW6 are now, more than ever before, joined by an influx of international buyers taking up
residence in the local patch. According to Savills, some 60 percent of buyers purchasing
homes around the £2 million mark come from overseas, with the majority hailing from
France, Spain and Greece. Prompted by new French President François Hollande’s tax
increases for the rich, larger numbers of high-earning French citizens have been crossing
the Channel in recent months and South-West London remains their preferred destination.
Fulham offers sound investment potential for European buyers, especially families,
looking to invest their money outside the economically volatile Eurozone, not only because
it affords better value-for-money than the surrounding areas but also due to the presence
of The French Lycée primary school in Parsons Green and the Lycée Français Charles de
Gaulle in nearby South Kensington.
It really would seem to be all about location, location, location; another look at the
statistics reveals that 39 percent of buyers at the Knight Frank Fulham branch have upped
sticks from Kensington and Chelsea. Whilst the scenic array of green spaces, riverside
location and excellent transport links have undoubtedly held the area in good stead, the
most desirable family homes here can sell for anything from £2 million. Compare that to a
three-bedroom flat with an equivalent price tag in neighbouring Chelsea, and it’s not hard to
see why savvy families are making the move across the Fulham border.
However, whilst the exodus of the world and his wife across into SW6 territory has
caused a few ripples and the market remains buoyant, the increases in stamp duty ushered
in last year (those looking to buy houses above the £2 million threshold are now liable to pay
at least £140,000 on the transaction) means that the tendency for current home-owners
in the area to stay put continues. This will result in a shortage of properties over time. With
demand at a premium then, those looking to snap up a new home in our fabulous area
should have elbows and cheque books at the ready.
It is great to see residents reaping the benefits of the
mammoth £8 million restoration project to give Bishops
Park and Fulham Palace grounds a well-needed face lift.
The park’s historic urban beach, reinstated after seventy-six
years, and the ornamental lake area have been given a new
lease of life as a scenic back drop for July’s Trinity River
Walk, to raise funds for Trinity Hospice.
Meanwhile the transformation over at Fulham Palace
continues apace and the original moat, thought to be
the longest medieval one in England, has been partially
excavated at Gothic Lodge. Excavations however, are still
ongoing, and a community archaeological dig in the walled
garden (running until 22 July) is giving groups of local
school children, families and individuals the chance to help
uncover the palace garden’s fascinating history.

Restoration project digs deep
With the threat of closure looming over the A&E
Department at Charing Cross hospital, thousands of
Fulham residents have been signing an online petition
to fight against the proposals laid out by NHS North
West. In what has been described by MP for Fulham
and Chelsea, Greg Hands, as a ‘hammer blow’ to
residents under the proposals, four of the nine A&E
centres in the area, including Charing Cross and
Hammersmith, would be shut. NHS consultations
on the proposals take place this month. Councillor
Marcus Ginn, H&F Cabinet Member for Community
Services, says: ‘The bigger our voice the more likely
we are to be heard.’ A previous community campaign
successfully warded off the closure of Charing Cross
Hospital in the early 1990s.

A veritable suntrap commanding a lofty, laid-back vantage point over the bustle below, Broadway House boasts every worthy summer credential. The private members’ club perched above the Broadway Bar & Grill and Brasa sports twin terraces and a rooftop bar with barbecue. Members can while away balmy afternoons sipping expertly made tipples under the canopies and can even book summer barbecue parties in a venue away from home. For a more formal dining experience and one which is open to non-members too, the Brasa luxury grill restaurant one floor down comes up trumps. Think smoky aromas and charcoal-seared Galloway fillet; Longhorn rib-eye steaks, Mersham pheasant and monkfish. Membership costs £300 a year but new members joining in July will receive £150 credit back on their membership cards to spend at the bar or in the restaurant.

Something of a Fulham
summertime institution, patrons
of The White Horse spill out
into the vibrant beer garden
when temperatures hot up.
There they sup cask ales and
feast on simple-yet-tasty beef
burgers, sausage baguettes
and hog roasts smothered in apple sauce. This is all sizzled to perfection
on the legendary barbecue in place. A peruse of the drinks menu renders it
apparent why The White Horse is often touted as one of the foremost beer
pubs in the country; it even hosts four annual drinks festivals, the next being
the Belgian Beer Festival which runs from Friday 24 until Monday 27 August.
Whenever shade beckons or rain threatens, the comfy Chesterfield sofas inside
offer a similarly laid-back atmosphere where exquisite and elegant takes on
traditionally hearty English pub grub. There is even a helpful and spot-on beer
and wine pairings listed in the menu.

The historic Aragon House on Parsons Green is a somewhat secluded but
not-to-be-overlooked gem. The spacious, decked garden area complete
with cocktail bar is now open from Wednesday to Sunday throughout the
warmer weather season (turn out when that may) and there is a nightly
barbecue. Grilled salmon, lamb steaks and tuna steak niçoise add diversity
to the usual barbecued fare and the new summer menu has been given
an overhaul with a
tempting grill section
of shish kebabs
and baby back ribs
to complement the
mezze sharing platters.
Unfortunately you can’t
reserve tables outside,
so be warned: get there
early for a prime seat.

tapas landNo crisis inRESTAURANT REVIEW
Whilst London has a reputation for its
international culinary variety, high-quality
Spanish restaurants as a genre isn’t up
there with, say, Indian restaurants. La Tasca is a
chain which does well to popularise the paella, but
only in the same way that Irish bars in Iberia do so
the Burger&Chips. So it remains for us Spain and
Spanish food-lovers to seek out everyday tapas
that exhibits finesse and that doesn’t fall into two
tempting traps: part-processed and over-salted.
The word ‘tapas’ has been hijacked by
British chefs to generally denote small snacks on
the menu. At Tendido Cuatro, (108-110 New Kings
Road), it is refreshing to be relating to its original
purpose. The food gave itself away immediately
as hand-cured, nothing of the tin about it. First up
was the obligatory Pan con tomate (toasted bread,
fresh tomato & olive oil ‘à la catalana’, £6). As
a former Barcelona resident I’m used to various
interpretations of this equivalent to our bread ‘n
butter in Spain’s autonomous region. I’ve been
given a hunk of bread with an un-peeled garlic
clove and whole tomato before for the DIY-take
(one tradition) and I’ve kindly been given bread
already soaked in rich tomato salsa. At Tendido
Cuatro, it was the latter and plenty of the stuff,
fresh and chilled too, on top on which sat a leaf of
light Iberian Ham.
Next followed Pimientos del padrón (those
famed Galician peppers (V), £6.50); Chorizo de
Salamanca a la brasa (chargrilled spicy chorizo,
£5.75); my favourite in those purple treasures that
are Pulpo a la Gallega (grilled octopus Galician
style, £8) and Gambas a la plancha (griddled King
prawns; £2.25 each). The shell on the prawns
fell off in the hand, ending battles of decapitation
before they started. A hallmark of quality, the
plates were bought out as and when cooked.
My dining companion remarked the chorizo a
little over-boiled and under-fried but I think this
was indicative of the chef shying away from over
greasing which is no bad thing.
There are four restaurants in the same
group as Tendido Cuatro, three of which keep
each other company on the Old Brompton Road:
Capote y Toros, at number 157; Cambio de Tercio
at number 163 and Tendido Cero up at number
174. The Hemingway-versed among you will notice
a bullfighting theme to the names of which there is
also a bold expression on the walls at our chosen
venue in the form of Luis Cañizares works.
The wine list is a wholly Spanish affair and
the reds are dominated by Ribera del dueros and
Riojas. A bottle of Altún Crianza 2008 (Bodegas
Altún; £26.25) goes down fine. Wines by the
glass appeal for their authenticity and difference;
in Reds you have Inurrieta Norte 2008 (Navarra
£5.50), Viña Solorca Roble 2009 (Ribera del
At last; the real thing. Alice Tozer enjoys fresh Spanish tapas at Parsons Green
duero, £6.50) and Emilio Moro 2007 (Ribera Del
Duero, £8.75). There are two white Riojas by the
glass for those who do not favour the dark side of
the wine menu.
The opening hours are a little unpredictable
which is a positive fact which threatens to disrupt
our own monotonous routines with a little Iberian
timetabling; Monday to Wednesday, midday to
11pm and Thursday to Friday, midday to 6pm.
Then, on Saturdays from midday to 6pm and
on Sundays from midday until 10.30pm. The
weekend attracts a cohort of Spaniards – many of
whom live in the area – for their paella lunchtime
affair. I imagine this is a sort of safe haven for
them, the Spanish in Spain who have had a
London weekend break all-too-often believing the
London food scene to be its major let down (but
I suspect looking no further than Garfunkels in
Leicester Square).
It’s true that in Spain you might be able
to stumble upon good food more often than in
London. So, Spaniards, Scottishmen and Irishmen
alike should make note of Tendido Cuatro because
it’s among New King’s Road’s, tried, tested and
quality approved. That way there’ll be no need to
chance things.

The Calendar
The weekly, Tuesday quiz night at The Harwood Arms is hardly your run-of-the-mill pub quiz, but
then the welcoming watering hole on Walham Grove isn’t exactly your average sort of establishment.
The first London pub to be awarded a Michelin star for its seasonal, staunchly British fare, the
Harwood is a popular evening destination, especially on Tuesdays when the convivial buzz is even
more apparent. The quizzing kicks off at 8pm but teams usually assemble anytime from 6.30pm
when the kitchen opens for the sampling of such flavoursome delights as grilled, salted ox tongue;
beef cheeks and Herefordshire snails braised in ale; and comforting buttermilk pudding to top off.
All this washed down with real ales and excellent wines from the well-conceived wine list. Surely,
this is pre-quiz sustenance at its very best? Booking for meals is recommended.

As the countdown to the sporting event of the summer reaches fever pitch,
Hammersmith and Fulham Council have revealed they will be holding a
celebratory event to mark the arrival of the Olympic torch into the borough
on Thursday 26 July. Currently meandering its way down the country on a
monumental seventy-day Olympic torch relay, the glowing beacon will reach
Hammersmith and Fulham at 1pm on the last leg of its 8,000-mile journey
to the Olympic Stadium. After being carried west along Fulham Road and
through Fulham Town Centre, the flame will then head to North End Road
and along Hammersmith Road.
A free, family-friendly event with food and market stalls will be held
at Jerdan Palace from 11am-3pm during which time residents cheering
the torchbearers on from the crowd-lined pavements will be entertained
with music and performances as they soak up the electric atmosphere.
‘The Torch visits the borough just one day before the start of the Games,’
commented Councillor Greg Smith, deputy leader and cabinet member for
residents’ services, adding that ‘it really will kick-off a fantastic few weeks
for London’.

The West London Wine School hosts a multitude of
wine tastings and courses for those keen to brush
up their knowledge in The Wine Cellars at the Big
Yellow storage company which overlooks the
Chelsea Harbour. Whilst a storage warehouse might
admittedly seem like a rather bizarre choice of
venue, the team at the wine school have pioneered
an ingenious storage solution for cellar-less wine
aficionados: the UK’s first purpose-built wine self-
storage facility, equipped with 1,200 temperature
and humidity-controlled cellars.
For those looking to attune their palettes
before starting their own wine collection, the
brilliant Saturday Introduction day courses cover
all the basics. Starting with an 11am Champagne
aperitif to tickle the taste buds, the five-hour
session includes an introduction to the world’s major
wine regions; a guide to wine tasting; an overview of
which wines to buy; as well as tips on matching meals
to the perfect tipple. Finally there is a practical taste-
test of twelve wines and a riverside two-course lunch.
Forthcoming events will be held on 18 August and 1
September at 11am. Cost: £87.50; duration: 5 hours.

credentials to the already art-minded pub. Joining the established The Little Black Gallery at The Imperial
Arms, this second art space (which was set up by Carlos Clarke’s widow Lindsay; Tamara Beckwith and
the photographer’s former agent, Ghislain Pascal) is a dedicated emporium of cutting-edge and striking
contemporary photography. Carlos Clarke’s provocative, starkly monochrome depictions of sassy female
muses adorn the walls waiting to be snapped up. Meanwhile, over in the pub’s The Little Black Gallery

Taken atLondon-based artist Benjamin Hope takes his perennial trip to The National Portrait Gallery’s BP Portrait Award exhibition
face value
Standing over two metres high at this year’s
BP Portrait Award Exhibition, Antonios
Titakis’s Silent Eyes shows artistic merit
and more than a little skill. And yet it is also an
example of how hyperrealism – that graphically
realistic representation in art – is all-too-frequently
misplaced when used in portraiture. The reason?
Simply that the viewer becomes too ‘wowed’; instead
of being given insight into human character, he is
caught up in wondering just how such extraordinary
photographic detail was rendered. (Elsewhere in the
art world, incidentally, hyperrealism is undergoing
a wave of producing some excellent cityscapes and
still-life paintings that capture modern consumerism
in so many of its facets.)
Overall, the judges at this year’s offering
seem to have seen the light somewhat compared to
other years, with much less emphasis placed on the
hyperreal. There are at most eight paintings with a
distinctive photographic style, compared to over a
third of all exhibits last year. Alongside these, there
is – happily – a fair smattering of delicious impasto
oil painting on display; the kind of works that make
amateurs and professionals alike want to run home
and get out their brushes.
The Postman by Frances Bell, for example,
is nothing fancy, just a superb example of classic
sculptural portrait painting. The artist employs light
to mould a man who knows his job whilst choosing
intense complementary colours for the skin and
uniform to give him command over his shadowy
grey sorting office.
And then there’s Tim Benson’s 92 years in
which thick pieces of paint infuse the subject with that
mysterious sense of agency (in this case one that is
aging and struggling). These are the qualities – never
unwelcome – of a Lucian Freud or a Kyffin Williams.
Other painterly highlights include Elizabeth
Thayer’s Tony, which is a fast portrait full of life, and The
Importance of Being Glenn by Isabella Watling, who at
just aged twenty-one is producing work that has been
compared to that of Velazquez and Singer Sargent.
There is variety on display too. Back for a
fourth year is Nathan Ford with an eye-catching
offering in the form of Joachim who emerges from a
barely-primed canvas like a fleeting, broken memory.
Carl Randall spicing things up with Mr Kitazawa’s
Noodle Bar, Tokyo, which stands out as unique, not
only as the sole piece showing a large group – here
tucking into, or serving, a noisy dinner – but also in
technique with false perspective, a monochrome
palette and puppet-like figures. Randall was awarded
the £5,000 travel award for his bold efforts.
Each year, visitors to the exhibition vote for
their own winner as they exit through the gift shop.
For once, it would come as no surprise if the popular
choice coincided with that of the judges: Aleah
Chapin’s Auntie; a worthy winner of the £25,000 first
prize. It is highly realistic – the aging female body
perfectly captured with loose skin and a suggestion of
liver spots – but there is such life, and love of life, in
her face; it is full of memory and experience and yet
remains keen and sharp, without a hint of bitterness.
She’s beautiful and this is the stuff of which great
portraits are made.
Until 23 September

Who made all the pies?
F U L H A M R E S I D E N T S ’ J O U R N A L 015
Excuse me, where’s the sugar?’ A statuesque, attractive American male
dressed in a sharp navy suit pops his head round the aisle, wielding a
shopping basket which seems as light as a feather in his grasp. ‘Oh,
and the hummus… and guacamole.’ It’s clear from every angle that this is
no ordinary supermarket. It’s Elizabeth King at 34 New King’s Road, where
colourful ice cream tubs, oversized French meringues, volumes of fresh fruit
and veg along with meaty deli delights are the order of the day.
On hand to attend to the gentleman is the shop’s real treasure, Eileen
Bentley. Her thirty-something years at these same tills have made her a
favourite with local punters who she has observed grow up, get married
and have families, all the while needing a pint of milk and some treats from
Elizabeth King. She scurries away assiduously to locate sugar, her body not
in the slightest betraying her eighty years. ‘I let the youngsters do the running
about,’ she says. I’m not convinced.
The more I talk to Eileen Bentley (‘as in the car’; I bet she never tires of
that line), I get the sense that this job structures her week and that she’d be lost
without it. ‘Oh yes! It pays for the bingo… and whatever else,’ she chuckles, her
strong working class lilt lending her an honest charm. For this she has to troop
once a week to Garratt Lane in Tooting. ‘It’s not a bad journey; just get the bus
to Putney and change. They closed the one in Fulham a couple of years ago.’
I feel suddenly angered by the closure; the least this lady deserves is a local
entertainment venue. Her hands are well worked I notice, as she lays one on
the table we chat at. These same hands used to make pies at Elizabeth King
back in the late 60s.
‘The deli was an Express Dairy back in the day. I first got the job
because my two sons worked in the original butchers here. One day Peter, the
late owner, asked me if I’d like to make pies and quiches from the old meat.
‘“Oh, I don’t know” – I said!’ Eileen remembers, in exclamatory fashion. The
rest is clearly history.
Having moved to West Kensington aged five, Eileen was evacuated with
her two cousins to Chew Magna in Bristol when war broke out – ‘Oh, it was
lovely there!’ – and then came back to London following the lead of one of her
cousins and just when the bombing started. Fast forward a little to marriage
at twenty-one and then a first child. Her youngest son was about twelve years
old when Eileen got a foot in the door at Elizabeth King. Previously she’d been
a local catering force by the sounds of it though her modesty doesn’t reveal
nearly all the facts I’m sure. ‘I made fish cakes for the Dolls’ Hospital,’ she
comments when I mention this famous dolls’ shop of yore. Once installed at
Elizabeth King, she had what was a short-lived sabbatical in the grand scheme
of her Elizabeth King career; a two year pause in order to help her sons at their
Fulham Road shop by, you guessed it, bashing out the pies.
At Elizabeth King, Eileen says they get a lot of Americans – residents
– and other foreigners, on top of the sizeable born ‘n bred quota. ‘We have
products you wouldn’t get in a supermarket’, many of which are foreign (like
the French lentilles and saucisses large-jarred concoction I suppose; something
I eye up as an easy, yet exotic, dinner option). Does she buy much here? ‘I do
like the fresh granary bread,’ she concedes. Parent company Bayley & Sage
(in Wimbledon Village) is renowned for its artisan breads including the Pain
Poilâne. Eileen mixes up her own occasional purchases from Elizabeth King
with those from M&S, Safeway and the pound shop on North End Road, an
area which she laments has declined considerably over the years. ‘There are
hardly any stalls on what used to be a lovely market. Once Barbers department
store closed, it seemed to go downhill [the late 80s or thereabouts].’
Eileen, who has six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren
(something she tells me with a broad grin), lives just down the road and
must have seen tremendous changes in the area over four decades. ‘It didn’t
used to be so upmarket. You just had all your basics; the shoemakers, the
launderette opposite… Now it’s more luxury. And people keep themselves
to themselves a bit more.’ Really I’m coaxing this out of her; she seems far
from discontent with her lot. ‘I want to keep on working for as long as I can.
Coming to the deli is like going to a dinner party because you meet up with
all your old friends.’ Elizabeth King clearly wouldn’t be the same without
Eileen; protectiveness and fondness exude from the staff towards her and
whichever customer doesn’t know her in this shop isn’t worth their weight in
the asparagus and carrot cake they clutch.
‘Coming to the deli is like going to a dinner party because you meet up
with all your old friends’

ThenMany are surprised to learn that Mahatma Gandhi was once a Fulham
resident. The later-to-become leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India came over in 1888 to study law at University
College London, aged eighteen, and set up home at 20 Barons Court Road for three years. A trio of visits ensued in 1906, 1909 and finally in 1931, the year from which the following interviews and speech excerpts are taken. He had arrived by boat into Folkestone...

With thanks to Navajivan Trust Illustration / Mai Osawa
Prime minister and friends,
in that settlement which represents the poor
people of the east end of London i have become
one of them. […] i have come in touch with
so many englishmen. it has been a priceless
privilege to me. they have listened to what must
have often appeared to them to be unpleasant,
although it was true. although i have often been
obliged to say these things to them, they have
never shown the slightest impatience or irritation.
[…] i consider that it was well worth my paying
this visit to england in order to find this human
affection. it has enhanced, it has deepened my
irrepressible faith in human nature that although
englishmen and englishwomen have been fed
upon lies so often that i see disfiguring your Press,
that although in Lancashire the Lancashire people
had perhaps some reason for becoming irritated
against me, i found no irritation, no resentment
even in the operatives. the operatives, men and
women, hugged me. they treated me as one of
their own. i shall never forget that.
i am carrying with me thousands upon
thousands of english friendships. i do not know
them, but i read that affection in their eyes as
early in the morning i walk through your streets.
all this hospitality, all this kindness will never
be effaced from my memory no matter what
befalls my unhappy land. i thank you for your
forbearance.
Extract from a speech at the plenary session of
the Round Table Conference, 11 November
i Love the east end, particularly the little
urchins in the streets. they give me such friendly
greetings. i have seen a tremendous change
in social conditions since i was in London forty
years ago. the poverty in London is nothing to
what it is in india. i go down the streets here and
i see outside each house a bottle of milk, and
inside the door there is a strip of carpet, perhaps
a piano in the sitting room... in india several
millions wear only a loin-cloth. that is why i wear
a loin-cloth myself. they call me half-naked. i do
it deliberately in order to identify myself with the
poorest of the poor in india. What impresses me
about London is that there is not the same glaring
difference between rich and poor. as i drive down
in my car to Bow every night, i have been noticing
how gradual is the change from the riches of the
West end to the poverty of the east end.
Extract from an interview with ‘The News
Chronicle’, 17 September
Charlie Chaplin: naturally i am in sympathy
with india’s aspirations and struggle for freedom.
nonetheless, i am somewhat confused by your
abhorrence of machinery.
Gandhi: i understand. But before india can
achieve those aims, she must first rid herself of
english rule. machinery in the past has made us
dependent on england, and the only way we can
rid ourselves of the dependence is to boycott all
goods made by machinery. that is why we have
made it the patriotic duty of every indian to spin
his own cotton and weave his own cloth.
this is our form of attacking a very powerful
nation like england – and of course, there are
other reasons. india has a different climate from
england; and her habits and wants are different.
in england the cold weather necessitates arduous
industry and an involved economy. You need the
industry of eating utensils; we use our fingers. and
so it translates into manifold differences.
Extract from an interview with Charlie Chaplin,
22 September
i find a vast change in the attitude of the
man in the street, and i have made a special point
of talking with all sections of the British people.
i am very happy in London and i have received
wonderful signs of affection from your ordinary
folk. in the east end i have been greatly touched
by the friendliness displayed. People come out of
their houses and shake hands with me and wish
me well. i was much gratified by the reception i
received in Lancashire, where the people seemed
to me to understand my position; and despite the
fact that my policy in india was reported to have
affected Lancashire so grievously, no grudge was
borne me and i found genuine friendship both
from operatives and employers alike. […]
in the interests of the untouchables
themselves i think it would be fatal for them to
have a special electorate, or to have reservation
of seats. if this were attempted, it would create
opposition to them. i think their interests would
be best safeguarded by their coming ‘through
the open door’, to let them have the same voting
rights as the ordinary hindu. they will find that
the leaders of indian opinion are determined to
improve their social status and give them the right
to enter into temples and are ready to remove
those other terrible disabilities under which they
have suffered in the past. […]
i have tried while i have been in england not
to say anything provocative, but those of us who
are giving our lives to india will never be satisfied
with half-measures. if the people of india after
this conference become convinced that great
Britain is not genuine in her desire to give them
immediate self-government, all the forces at their
disposal will be used.

A trip to the hairdresser’s with a toddler in tow is a
struggle. Cue Bigoodi; a fun, colourful concept store
and salon specifically designed for children and on
our very own doorstep. From the fun model toy-car
chairs, (so little drivers can steer their way through a
trim) to the bright, bold décor and well-stocked play
area, Bigoodi’s design gets a resounding thumbs up.
The services on offer are well-conceived too; from
first hair-cut packages to glittery nail art – kids will
leave with barnets quaffed to perfection and feeling
ever so grown-up.
Themed parties are also offered, with
invitations, party games, soft drinks, party bags
and entertainment all supplied. The Little Bigoodi
Party incorporates mini manicures for the girls and
temporary tattoos for the boys; the so-called Girly
party package on the other hand will transform
prima donnas into princesses with hair styling,
nail painting, sparkly make-up and a personal
photo to capture the end results. For curious little
minds, the Kapla Creative Party revolves around the
popular French game of wooden building blocks
which can be stacked and balanced to create all
sorts of structures, giving kids free reign to unleash
their imagination.

McCallum’s humorous animal designs) and
typographic maps always yields striking finds

A forum for the Fulham resident’s daily concerns and activities
Residents’ Culture
The Wooster Group and the Royal Shakespeare Company’s innovative production of Troilus and Cressida, one
of the Bard’s bleakest tragedies, adds a multi-media twist to the epic tale of war, politics and ill-fated love. In
the midst of a seven-year bloody war, Trojan Prince Troilus falls for Cressida, the daughter of a Trojan priest
who has defected to the Greek side. Co-directed by The Wooster Group’s Elizabeth LeCompte and Mark
Ravenhill, the RSC’s current writer in residence, the Anglo-American production has been an experimental
labour of love from its conception, with the two companies initially rehearsing independently of each
other. The consequent clash of interpretation between the Greeks (RSC) and Trojans (The Wooster Group)
heightens the play’s fractious nature and the resulting drama is both wonderfully compelling and occasionally
tear-jerking, meaning it should make splendid viewing for those who enjoy bloodthirsty battles and doomed
romances in equal measure. Showing from 24 August until 8 September. See it and send us your own

The Fulham Estate Residents’ Association for residents of Peabody has brought it to residents’ attention that,
come October this year, official governmental legislation will make wheel-clamping unlawful. The Association feels
that this cannot come soon enough, for clamping is the cause of great frustration for many residents. Conversely,
The British Parking Association has criticised the Government for creating ‘a charter for the selfish parker’, giving
drivers the freedom to park wherever they want.
Hammersmith & Fulham website states: ‘We do not wheel-clamp in this borough. Wheel clamps may
however be applied to vehicles parked on streets in our borough by bailiffs in respect of unpaid Penalty
Charge Notices or other debts (owed to Hammersmith and Fulham or to other Authorities), or by agents
acting on behalf of other agencies, such as the DVLA.’
Once in force, the law, first mooted last year, will mean only police or councils will be allowed to
immobilise or remove a car in exceptional circumstances, such as when blocking a road. Home Office figures
show cowboy clampers take up to £55 million from drivers every year. Until October, clamping is allowed by
holders of an SIA Vehicle Immobiliser licence.

Key news and diary dates regarding your local schools
The Classroom
Plans to open a new school, Fulham Boys’ School (FBS), have been ratified. The application to create
a new Church of England secondary school for boys has just been approved by the Department for
Education. A site has yet to be confirmed, but negotiations will now progress as a priority. FBS will also be
setting in motions its plans to recruit its head teacher.
The school will be for children in the borough aged between eleven and eighteen and will
be a so-called ‘free school’. Free schools are all-ability state-funded schools set up in response to what
local people say they want and need in order to improve education for children in their community. In
particular, they give parents flexibility in the curriculum their children are taught. In this case, The Fulham
Boys’ School organisers will strive to provide an outstanding, enterprising education for boys, set within a
framework of Christian values, all-the-while striving for academic excellence. FBS will be partnering with the
Diocese of London in translating this vision into a reality, drawing on the Diocese’s considerable expertise in
establishing successful schools such as the Chelsea Academy.
The plan is to open doors in September 2013 with a first intake of Year 7 boys. Wade added:
‘From speaking to parents locally, it is clear there’s very real demand for more choice at secondary level,
for boys in particular. Fulham hasn’t got a secondary faith school for boys, other than the excellent but
heavily oversubscribed Oratory School, and our ambition is to fill this gap with an outstanding school, with
inspirational teaching planned specifically to bring out the best in boys.’
To this, Fulham and Chelsea MP Greg Hands added: ‘I was elected MP for Fulham in 2005 on a
platform of creating more secondary school choice, and I have given this proposal for a new Fulham Boys’
School my wholehearted support. We have some excellent new schools locally, but there is a pressing need
for a high quality boys’ Church of England secondary.’

The London Oratory School on Seagrave Road will next year be celebrating 150 years of existence. To
celebrate, it is producing a commemorative book, The London Oratory School: A Celebration of 150 Years.
Published by Third Millennium Publishing and envisaged for print in the autumn term of 2013, the book
will trace the history of the School, beginning in the 1880s when it was a school for the poor. It will then
cover all decades, including the war years, the swinging sixties’ influence on the school and then the years
of significant educational and political change in the late 1900s. It will of course pause to celebrate the
School in its current guise too. Running throughout the book is the theme of the School’s loyal relationship
with the Oratory Church. Pupils and teachers alike will weave the story and no aspect will be left untouched;
from academic life, the arts and sport to journeys, clubs and societies. It will feature beautiful illustrations
too. If you have links to the School you would be wise to invest in a copy now, at the special online price of
£24 (plus p&p – or you can collect it from the School) which is a £10 saving on the published price. Visit
the publishers’ website (www.tmiltd.com/londonoratory) or telephone them on 020 7336 0144. Subscribers
have the opportunity to have their name (or that of a family member or friend) printed in the book itself
under the List of Subscribers. David McFadden writes that ‘as Headmaster of The London Oratory School,
it is an honour and a privilege to preside over such an exciting and uplifting project, and I would love you to
join our celebration.’ Those with memories, memorabilia and experiences to share for potential inclusion in
the book should get in touch with the School or publishers.

Urban development and changes to logistics in the Fulham area
Planning & Development
Hammersmith & Fulham Council has been
consulting with LOCOG and Transport for London
to try to minimise disruption and have sent detailed
information to residents in high-impact areas. The
council is advising residents to plan ahead.
See: www.getaheadofthegames.com.
25 July–12 August: Volleyball at Earls CourtThe Olympic volleyball events are spread out over
the duration of the Games and there will be three
volleyball sessions at 9.30am, 2.45pm and 8pm
most days when up to 40,000 spectators will be
heading to Earls Court to enjoy the action at any
one time. To enable better and quicker access,
LOCOG and Transport for London will be closing a
number of roads in the borough and just beyond:
• Lillie Road will be closed eastbound to non-
authorised vehicles from 6am until midnight
between North End Road and Ongar Road
• Lillie Road and Old Brompton Road will be closed
eastbound to non-authorised vehicles from 6am
until midnight between Seagrave Road and
Eardley Crescent
• Old Brompton Road will be closed westbound to
non-authorised vehicles from 6am until midnight
between Eardley Crescent and Warwick Road
• Eardley Crescent and Penywern Road will be
closed to all vehicles up to ninety minutes before
each session begins (28 July – 12 August)
25 July–14 August: Olympic and Paralympic Route Networks (ORN and PRN)The A40 and A4 are designated routes for
transporting athletes and officials to the events,
which could cause traffic disruptions. Specially
designated Games Lanes will be in operation for
use by accredited vehicles and emergency services:
• Games Lanes will extend along the A40 from
the Westway/A40 corridor intersection with Old
Oak Common, operating from 6am to midnight.
Vehicles will not be able to turn right onto Old Oak
Road off the A40.
• On the A4, the Games Lane run from the Hogarth
Roundabout to Earls Court Road. Vehicles will
The Olympics: road closuresnot be able to turn right into Netheravon Road off
the A4. These measures will be in operation from
6am to 8pm until 9 September.
Saturday 28 July and Sunday 29 July:
The Olympic cycle road races will pass both
inbound and outbound along Fulham Road,
Fulham High Street and Putney Bridge. Last year’s
trial event caused mayhem on these same streets,
so the impact is not to be underestimated. The
men’s race on the Saturday will start in central
London at 10am and last for about six hours,
whilst the ladies’ event the next day will begin at 12
midday and last a predicted three and a half hours.
On Saturday 28 July, road closures will be in effect
as of 3am; on Sunday the situation will be underway
from 5am. LOCOG will be opening two ‘emergency
local access points’ (ELAPs) which will allow traffic
to cross the route during certain time-slots (when
the race is out of the borough).

ProPoSAlS unveiled
Plans to redevelop the area around Carnwath Road in south Fulham
– the same site that Thames Water has earmarked as the main
construction area for a £4.1 billion Thames Tunnel super sewer –
have been submitted to Hammersmith & Fulham Council. Under the
proposed plans, the regeneration site will include nearly five-hundred
riverside homes, commercial units and offices. Devised by the Fulham
Riverside West Partnership (FRWP) – which comprises the landowners
of Whiffin Wharf, Hurlingham Wharf and Carnwath Road Industrial Estate
– the redevelopment aims to ‘create a vibrant new riverside community’
at the site which sits between Wandsworth Bridge and Hurlingham Park.
The regeneration is split into three separate applications covering
Whiffin Wharf, Hurlingham Wharf and the Carnwath Road Industrial
Estate. The plans submitted for council approval include a balance of new
residential, commercial, office and business units which would sit side-by-
side with attractive open spaces, restaurants and cafés. Redevelopment
of the original Thames river path would also create new cycle routes and
pedestrian walkways.
The FRWP hopes to distance the area from its industrial past with
plans to build a substantial number of residential properties across the
three areas. Affordable office and business space is scattered across the
development, with some 909 square metres of space for new shops and
620 square metres for restaurants intended for Carnwath Road and a
further 101 square metres at Whiffin Wharf.
The planning applications committee will consider the proposals
later this year. In the meantime, the council continues to back
campaigners in their objections to the Thames Water main sewer
construction site, another key contender for the redevelopment of the area.
Changes are afoot to transform the tired Fulham Town Hall into a shopping complex,
incorporating designated space for stores, restaurants and fifteen residential units. The
soon-to-be new owners of the building, American retail and leisure firm Dory Ventures,
have finally had their bid for the Grade II-listed Victorian edifice accepted after a lengthy
selection process. The retail group’s vision for the historic building includes high-quality
boutique shops and smaller retailers, which they hope will create a ‘quintessentially
British’ lifestyle emporium. A flagship showroom for Dory Ventures’ leading UK brand,
quality children’s products manufacturer Maclaren will be included and the upper floors
of the building will be converted into fifteen new homes.
When the proposals were first unveiled to the public at an exhibition held at the
end of last year, there were some initial objections by concerned residents who felt that
Fulham didn’t need a shopping centre. A subsequent independent report found that
there was retail viability and potential demand for a new retail complex and that the
plans laid out could in fact invigorate the building and the surrounding area.
To preserve the town hall’s heritage, the new owners are planning to revive the former
council chamber as an educational space for community events and lectures. Breathing a
new lease of life into the building, other striking architectural features will include a new café
in its centre, bathed in natural light filtering through a stunning glass atrium.
The council made the decision to sell the building in February last year in order to
prioritise front-line services and free up funds for local initiatives and resident services.
Before redevelopment can begin, however, Dory Ventures will have to submit plans and
obtain both planning permission and listed-building consent from the Council.
