It's a 'Family Affair': Our Chiswick Neighbours

When MAYFIVE moved into Chiswick, we couldn’t help but explore our new neighbourhood. Nestled among some amazing independent businesses, we quickly found a few local favourites that we think you’ll love too.

So whether you’ve booked a morning hair appointment or an afternoon refresh, here’s how to make a day of it with our top Chiswick recommendations.

‍

Start your morning at Beehive

At MAYFIVE we are big believers in treating yourself, and starting off your morning with a pastry is essential to having a good day. The croissants at Beehive are too good to miss, and whilst you're there, you should check out their smoothies if you want to feel virtuous (yep, having a smoothie TOTALLY makes up for that pastry)...

Pop into Chiswick Pets

Whether you have a pet or not (why not? Get one!), Chiswick Pets is the perfect stop-off point for all animal-lovers. They have three lovely dogs and a cat that live there if you want to say hello, and plenty of guinea pigs and rabbits to take home with you.

Your hair will look great after a visit to MAYFIVE, but what about your dog's hair?! Unfortunately, at MAYFIVE we don't style dogs, but Chiswick Pets definitely do. They run a wonderful grooming service and also do at- home visits so that you and your pooch can be equally pampered.

Freshen up your wardrobe at TopHat

TopHat, run by the wonderful Mike, is one of the friendliest dry cleaners we know and it even boasts an incredibly talented seamstress. We get all of our washing done there and our dresses altered when we've eaten too many pancakes at Urban Pantry (they're just so good!) If you need washing done to the highest standard and you'd like it accompanied by a friendly face, pop in to see them.

Brunch heaven at Urban Pantry

Still feeling hungry? You will be when you walk into Urban Pantry. This wonderful cafe was set up three years ago by the incredibly talented Kate Frobisher, who trained at Leith's School of Food and Wine. The food is delicious and locally-sourced, and the staff are friendly and relaxed. In fact, we think that the food at Urban Pantry (called 'Urby-P' by those in-the-know) is the best brunch food in London. But don't just take our word for it! Urban Pantry has been decorated with countless awards, and is known officially and by locals as 'Best Brunch Place in Chiswick' according to Timeout. It was also runner-up for the 'Best Brunch Place in London' at the Timeout Awards. Trust us: just go. You won't be disappointed. **Side note: We are not responsible if you develop an addiction to their pancakes.**

Unwind with wine at Vinoteca

Vinoteca is an ambient wine bar inspired by the ones found in Spain and Italy. Not going on holiday this Summer? Spend an evening at Vinoteca in this glorious weather and feel like you're sipping wine in Rome...but if you're feeling too tired for a sit-down meal, don't worry, they also conveniently do take-away! 25 different types of wine are paired with delicious dishes. You can thank us later. Cheers! Or, Salud!

From pastries to pet cuddles, brunches to wine bars, Chiswick has a little bit of everything. We feel so lucky to share a home with such an amazing community of local businesses, and we’d love for you to explore them next time you visit us at MAYFIVE.
