Shopping is centred around the high street and comprises a good selection of local shops and independent stores and boutiques – with a wider range of shops being found in nearly Barnes. Weekly farmers’ markets are held locally at Barnes and Chiswick.
Nightlife is fairly low key, but there are a few great restaurants and bars to try. Rick Stein’s Riverside Restaurant and Bar, located on the riverbank, offers modern European cuisine and is popular with locals. The Ship pub, just a short stroll along the river path, serves real ales and hosts entertainment nights.
Property in Mortlake
Property in Mortlake mainly comprises small Victorian terraces and period conversions, tends to be priced lower than neighbouring Barnes and Kew. Many properties have quirky elements, lush gardens and narrow alleyways leading from the towpath back into the town. Mortlake is often described by its residents as a part of London that harks back to a forgotten time. Properties nearest the Parkside area are some of the most expensive in the area, with Victoria Road and Shalstone Road being particularly sought-after.
Waterside apartments and developments along the banks of the Thames include Parliament Mews, Dukes Court and Tideway Wharf offering direct views across the river.
