Baby swim

Can anyone recommend a local pool that does pay as you go baby swim rather than booking in for a whole term? Thanks!

Local hairdressers / salons / beauty

Having lived in the area for 10+ years and tried many of the beauty places that have come (and gone!) I thought it might be useful to start a thread for people to recommend / review, especially for anyone new to the area or someone looking for a change. To start I have put my thoughts on some places...

Re: good local beer gardens with children?

Dress alterer

I need to get a dress altered and wonder if there's anyone local that comes recommended? Lots of places on Northcote / surrounding roads but they look to be laundry places first, alterers second...

Re: Early pregnancy scans

We have been to heybaby4d in wandsworth - it feels a little rough and ready, but the sonographers were all really nice and made us feel comfortable, and it did the job.

Re: Botox questions and recommendations

I would really recommend Dr Fiona McCarthy (found on old posts here and have used her ever since!) She's fab and very natural.

Pre-Natal and Post-Natal fitness SW11

Does anyone know of any good pre-natal and post-natal exercise classes in SW11? Not looking for someone to come to my home or to train outside, am specifically looking for a studio space and/or classes! I did have a look at OYM by Clapham Junction but so expensive..!

Re: Pregnancy massage

I would highly recommend Dina at Northcote Chiropractic - they are a chiropractor's practice on Webbs Road (have been amazing during my pregnancy) and have a massage room upstairs. Dina is the only masseuse I have seen who has done anything other then lightly stroke, which I find is a waste of money...

As soon as it is let it into the garden it barks and howls non-stop (and I mean, non-stop) for the entire time. This can be for 45 minutes + straight. With the current hot weather, we have our w...

Re: Moving out of SW11 recommendations

Thanks for your replies everyone! We have spent some time visiting various places in Surrey and agree with posters here that Teddington is the only place that fitted the bill. It has a bustling high street, a community feel, lots going on, as well as feeling quite residential in places. Unfortunatel...

Personal Trainers SW11

Can anyone recommend any PTs in the SW11 area? I am struggling to find someone who comes recommended. A friend has tried OYM by Clapham Junction and enjoys it, but says the price is extortionate for what it is. I have tried a few 1:1 sessions at Four Sides, but wasn't impressed, they seemed more lik...
