Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

Apologies to Lady Sally Hamwee and Sarah Olney MP for the confusion over their names in last night’s posting.

But it all adds to drawing local attention to the reality of plans for Heathrow.

Good luck to all British pairing Neil Skupski and local boy Joe Salisbury in the Men’s Doubles Final in New York today.

The tournament was last won by an all British pairing in 1903.

East Sheen is set to tantalise tastebuds this September with its first ever Food Fest, a one‑day celebration of the area’s vibrant food and drink scene.

From 10am onwards* on Saturday 6 September 2025, local cafés, restaurants, bars, and food retailers along the Upper Richmond Road West and Sheen Lane, SW14, will be offering an irresistible selection of bites and sips — ranging from free tasters to dishes and drinks priced at no more than £5.

Food lovers of all ages and tastes are welcome to explore, sample, and enjoy the best of East Sheen’s food and drink. The event not only promises delicious flavours, but also the chance to discover the warmth and community spirit of this lovely London neighbourhood.

The event is FREE but guests must pre-register for their map here: http://bit.ly/4mObcxI

In her latest weekly newsletter Sally Hamwee MP reports on her meeting with Heathrow’s Director of Carbon Strategy following the publication of the latest proposals for the construction of a third runway at the Airport.

She noted the proposal to increase their capacity for arrivals and departures from 480,000 to 756,000 flights a year. Heathrow representatives stated that noise pollution would be reduced by the introduction of new fleets, and air pollution would be limited with the move towards sustainable aviation fuel. These assertions, she writes, will not mitigate the impact of an additional 276,000 flights over London.

Our MP noted that a number of my queries regarding investment in the project, the proposed flight paths for the third runway, and the impact that surface access would have on residents around Heathrow, could not be answered.

Locally we have noted an increasing number of complaints about more and noisier early morning flights. Heathrow seems determined to ignore this issue. It cannot possibly be the case that an additional 276,000 flights will do other than increase early flights.

Intergenerational Board Game Afternoon

Saturday 13 September 2025

1pm to 4pm Mortlake Hall

This event is organised by the Mortlake Community Association and the 2nd Mortlake Scout Group Cubs and aims to provide an afternoon of fun and laughter where young and older residents can interact over traditional board games.

There will be a bouncy castle, a variety of board games, chess led by the Chair of West London Chess Club, indoor activities such as art, codebreaking, and word searches.

Outdoors, we will offer sports including cricket, football, and table tennis.

To keep those brain cells working we will be offering an energy-fuelled menu of pizza, homemade cakes, hot drinks, and homemade lemonade. 

Please register here: Intergenerational Board Game Afternoon  

September Chess date is Wednesday 24 September 1pm – 3pm. 

October date is Wednesday 29 October 1pm – 3pm.
