Happy new year everyone. Just wanted to congratulate Bairstow’s on their 3rd anniversary on Kings Road. Judging by the number of sold boards I see around town, they seem to be going from strength to strength. The good thing about them is that they have offices all over the country, especially London – but they also have the feel of a ‘local agent’. If you’re looking to sell (or rent), why not pop into their office and have a chat!

A florist will always make a nice addition to any road. Remember the song ‘If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear a flower in your hair…’ Peace and Love baby yeah! Better than bombs and torture eh? So the next time you’re in the dog house with the missus, you know what to do. Get yourself down to 40 Kings Road and buy her some flowers. Always does the trick!

Back in January I posted a piece about the renowned local street artist Ben Eine painting shop shutters in Kings Road (scroll down to read it). Well it turns out that David Cameron’s wife has given one of Ben’s ‘Alphabet’ prints to none other than the president of the United States – Barack Obama. Something tells me those shops he painted could now be worth quite a lot more. Go Eine!
