The Worst Things in Chiswick, Greater London*
The entirely missable and worth mentioning because of it
You can tell us more about Chiswick.
The Worst Things
- Kew Bridge Station - a disgrace
- The awful women in enormous 4x4s they can't drive which they really need to take their child to prep school-well Chiswick is known for its mountainous terrain and treacherous driving conditions..
- PRICES!
- The traffic calming measures in Hartington Road, locally known as 'lunacy lane'
The increase in grafitti in the last year or so.
- Peeps from kensington getting stabbed on my turf.
- the house prices are insane!
- crime rate
- The A4 Road. I live on Hogarths Roundabout and it really stinks!
- With house prices rising all the time unfortunately the "yuppies" have now moved in, the "oh how lovely to see you darling" ones!!!!
- NOWHERE TO DRINK LATE
- Mortimer and Bennet Food shop.Turnham Green Terrace.
The service in here is "funny".There is always a tense
atmosphere "in the air"from the "staff".Maybe something do with
the high prices like Nougat bars @ £10 each.
The staff do not seem to like helping customers at all(for instance
rudely refusing to weigh vegetables)and appear cross if people do
not buy anything.Some of the other customers are a bit "off"too.
One day it all exploded in a major hooha with The proprietor using
sexual swear words at a customer.The self declared odd greengrocer next door
m&c (quoted as saying "we sell queer gear here"joined in with physical threats
and it all became quite an argy bargy.I prefer Harrods so much "cooler".
- When I moved away [financial reasons]
- The Piccadily line no longer stops at Turnham Green station.
Recently some pubs have been getting some very rough patrons. Obviously not locals!
- Peoples attitude. Going shopping is like Destruction Derby in Sainsburys.
Parking is terrible. The whole area is to become a Resident Only Parking" area soon.
- The worst thing is that there are far too many pizza-pasta places.
- Pretty much dead after 11pm
- posh buggies
