We take a look at the changing face of Chiswick businesses

2007 certainly saw its fair share of comings and goings in Chiswick. Old familiars closed down to be replaced by new and sometimes already familiar names. However, a balance between chains and independents opening appears to have remained.

Understandably, the High Road saw the greatest level of activity but Devonshire Road came a very close second including the much lauded arrival of Gordon Ramsay (albeit a report is yet to arrive of someone actually seeing him) at The Devonshire.

High Road arrivals include:

Cath Kidson
Clever Wallys Raw Pizza
Graham & Green
Ochre
Paperchase
Santro & Peche
Shackology
Sirca 6
The Catch
Urbanxtremes
Evans Cycles

Turnham Green Terrace:
