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:

[email protected]; 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.

Food for thought

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

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.

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?


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...

That was


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.

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.’

Assessing the optionsOPEN DAY


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).

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.
