Everything Else
Great Thai food at a reasonable price and "beer garden" is great with outdoor heating, pretty and with a lovely water fountain at bottom of garden. Quirky decor. I feel the way the pub is set up is geared to adults relaxation time.

Drinks & Nightlife
Good traditional pub food, real value for money and they do meal deals via a voucher online. They serve craft beers and lagers, alongside other drinks that can't be found in the new age of pubs. I personally love this place as has kept a sense of traditional pub values with really quirky vintage and traditional decor.

The Naked Ladies are a statue complex on a rockery and water cascade in the gardens of York House, Twickenham, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. The larger than human size statues depict eight Oceanids and a pair of aquatic horses. They were carved in the fin de siècle style from white Carrara marble and probably came from Italy in the late nineteenth century or very early twentieth century.

Great for Asian outfits, fabrics and gold Asian jewellery, in a nutshell all things Asian. Southall is primarily a South Asian residential district, sometimes known as "Little India". In 1950, the first group of South Asians arrived in Southall, reputedly recruited to work in a local factory owned by a former British Indian Army officer. This South Asian population grew, due to the closeness of expanding employment opportunities such as London Heathrow Airport. Not for those that like a quiet life, no disrespect although that said where I live isn't exactly peace & quiet.
