Just moved saaf of the river, hidden gems required So my wife and I have just moved saaf of the river to Putney after 10+ years around Hammersmith/West Ken/Earls Court area, and I'm looking for any local knowledge to help our settling into our new area:
Local independent cafes/restaurants
Reliable dry cleaners
Dentists that are sensitive to fear
Any hidden gems of local knowledge
Thanks :)

Not my neck of the woods, but it’s music trips to the Half Moon pub that bring me to Putney (http://halfmoon.co.uk). Amazing musical heritage. Enjoy your new locale, especially the proximity to Richmond Park!
looking at beautiful and unusual London venues to hire for our next single launch and VIP album listening event in London. Any suggestions?
