Bloody pretentious French rubbish. The true French restaurant was Le Moulin, which none of you gastro experts visited on a regular basis contributing to it's closure. But now something nice, poncey and Clapham friendly has moved in its fabulous darling. Do me a quaver.

I like the French House, but the decor?. Part country cottage, part industrial, part psychedelia / 60s pop. All rather muddled IMO. Should have gone for the full on 1960s look, but guess budget restricted them from changing too much. Food is good though and it has very friendly service. Hope it does well.

I'm sure Eric and Margaret would disagree with your analysis *Bob*, water under the bridge nonetheless. Once Pret arrives locally I will be smugly satisfied that a McDonalds owned French sounding eatery has arrived to rival the Clapham blow-in indies aimed at the disaffected Putneyites. Boom.

I'm sure your regular dinner-for-two visits helped them out a little, for which they are no doubt eternally grateful.


Unfortunately you completely failed to see the link between you being their lead advocate on here at a time when they needed new custom - and you slagging off anyone who moved here after 2002 (ie 'potential new customers') on a daily basis.

Pop up Mediterranean tapas restaurant will be opening in the evenings at Prettys from the July 12th. Run by some rather nice French peeps.


Happy now? ;-)

It was built up too much and now I'm disappointed. Thanks for the update though :-)

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
