This beautifully quaint, down to earth cafe has very quickly become our go-to whenever we fancy a bite to eat. Full of amazing cakes, salads and sandwiches, and the coffee, well it is sooooo good! FED is another brilliant reason to visit our fab part of Gloucester Road and next time you come to the salon pop in, you’ll soon see why we love this special place.

You may have noticed the beautiful illustrations we often have on the salon windows, well Bexx is the amazing artist that creates them! Originally from Nottingham, she designs window art for salons, cafes, restaurants, bars, and shops. We love ours because they bring a lot of joy to our clients, who often comment, and we can change them with the seasons. Thank you Bexx.

Gloucester Road Books, a fantastic independent bookshop that opened in 2021 and found just across the road from us. Tom and his team have so many books, all carefully chosen and always on hand to recommend a good read. If you don’t see what you need, they will also order books in, and the children’s section is simply great! If you have not done so yet, check this treasure trove of a shop out – we think you’ll love it too!

You will find Preserve on the very special section of Gloucester Road we all live on! There is no plastic in this zero waste shop, everyone is encouraged to bring their own containers and you can buy as little or as much as you like. A great addition to the neighbourhood we are sure you will agree.
