Liz Evans at Vidatherapy
A treatment with Liz Evans is always a calming and reviving experience. Her gentle nature leaves you feeling truly relaxed and nutured. I have been a regular client of Liz’s for many years now (Reflexolgy/Indian Head massage). I cannot recommend her enough.
-Olivia

Always have a really lovely seasonal window display. The staff are so welcoming and I love to have a chat with them. I have yet to go in for something that they don’t have. In fact I always come out with more. I cant resist the Emma bridgewater things. My favourite shop in Teddington.

Studio 148
Studio148 is a boutique with original features. Very much like Notting Hill style. Beautifully layout with original fire place inside. Some of the brands with Limited Edition shirts are amazing. Must visit again.

Vidatherapy
I would like to give a testimonial for Vidatherapy. I have loved going to Vidatherapy for a course of holistic aromatherapy massages with Anne Moore as it really has recharged my batteries and is deeply relaxing. Vidatherapy is a very calm space with a therapeutic atmosphere. The whole experience helps create some space and much needed ‘me-time’ after taking care of others during the week. I would highly recommend a visit.

TCS
This lovely shop is unique. The clothes and accessories are beautiful and timeless and reason enough for returning, year after year. But it’s the experience of shopping there which is so different from anywhere else and the people, particularly Jules, who make it so special. For a start, it doesn’t matter what your budget is, you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the door. There’s no pressure to buy but a lot of encouragement to find exactly what suits you as an individual. Perhaps most important of all and something you can’t find elsewhere – friends who care about you and are there for you through the ups and downs of life. Long may TCS continue.

Studio 148
I had a last min conference meeting and was so lucky, Studio148 is around the corner from my office. It is the only menswear in Teddington. This is the first time I have been into the store. A sales Lady was really helpful, got nice Eton shirt with smart trouser and Tie. Will definitely recommend and will shop again soon.
-Tom
.

TCS
TCS: The beautiful and unique store that truly is a gem… The window display’s are magical and I always allow extra time on my commute to spend a few moments to gaze at the items within. Jules is truly an artist at what she does. The clothes are lovingly sourced and emphasis is placed on helping develop the elusive ‘individual style’. Perfect…..
-Dawn
.

Studio 148
It’s nice to find a decent menswear shop in heart of Teddington. Studio148 has eye-catching shirts collection. Every time we pass by, they always have new dressed up window & there my husband pointed me his favourite shirt. I bought him a shirt & blaze with their Facebook discount promotion, well buying.
-Julia
.

TCS
TCS is one of my favourite shops,not just in London but worldwide. My mum and aunt travel from Dublin especially to come and shop at Tcs.The clothes are individual and you feel special wearing everything from the shop. Recently Jules has added astier ceramics which are gorgeous for the home.
-Clare

Teddington Hardware
Can I use this to say a big thank you to all the staff at Teddington Hardware for all their help over the years; this is simply my favourite shop of all times with service par excellence.
-Nicola
.

TCS
TCS is my all time favourite shop. A visit there never fails to lift the spirits whether I am just looking though beautiful clothes, talking to the knowledgeable staff or of course buying a wonderful piece of clothing which will be worn again and again. The shoes, jewellery and socks are also a delight and are always commented on when I wear them. TCS is a gem to be cherished.

Nearest Cafe
Best breakfast in Teddington with very friendly service. Excellent for children and the outside area will really come into its own when the weather improves.
-Stewart
.

Cafe Toscana
Wonderful pasta, lasagne, ciabatta’s, cakes, coffee and most of all wonderfully friendly people. Great for kids also.
-Stewart
.

Moore’s Cycles
I’d like to nominate Moore’s Cycles as nothing is ever too much trouble. If they aren’t fixing a puncture on the buggy, they’re getting one of the family’s bikes back on the road! Great bunch of guys.
-Andrea
.

TCS
I just would love to comment on this lovely shop TCS which I stumbled upon over 17 years ago and have been loyal ever since. With it’s fashion concise edge and its loyal and helpful staff are a few of the many reasons I keep coming back. But I couldn’t finish with out saying it wouldn’t be possible with out a strong tasteful woman named Jules. Thanks and I wish them many years of continued success.
TCS = the clothing store with a difference!
-Marion

Studio 148

La Bottega
La Bottega is amazing – quality and value – don’t know how they do it for the price – wish they had more space as always full!
-Susanne
.

TCS
I have shopped at this delectable fashion outlet for years! Everybody that I have introduced to the ambience and the contents have been seduced by the beautiful clothes and accessories, just like me! My 80 year old neighbour begs me to take her every time I go to TCS and has valued her purchases! To be admired for unique style, elegance and sophistication, visit the friendly and welcoming shop at your leisure, but keep an afternoon free to so do!

A G Miller
Millers butchers. Great food. Friendly service. Convenient. Great range of meats.

Studio 148
A West End Boutique in the heart of Teddington! Quite definitely the finest shirts and jackets you will find south of the river accompanied by charming service in a relaxed environment.

TCS
TCS is the best clothes shop I’ve ever been to (and that’s saying something..). It’s a blissfully refreshing change from all the usual high street stores. The stock is incredibly special and although it might seem a bit on the expensive side, I’ve always found that cost-per-wear compares brilliantly as I keep the TCS clothes forever and they continue to look good long after cheaper pieces have been consigned to the charity bag. The staff know a lot too – you can trust them to help you put items together in a way that’s that bit different and exciting.
-Judy
.

Studio 148
Studio148 is unique, boasting the latest menswear trends, this is a fine place for the dapper and dandy.

Simply Skin UK
As a past customer at the salon’s previous location, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious premises and delighted to find that the personal attention and high quality facials were still the order of the day. The therapist could not have been nicer and put me at ease immediately and a very relaxing hour later, I left with my skin looking revitalised. I was delighted to find that the effects have lasted for weeks and I now intend to ensure that I treat myself to more regular visits.
-Naoma
.

Synchronicity
My hidden gem today is Synchronicity Church Rd. Great personal training service for Power plate.
-Annie
.

Studio 148
It is nice to have a special menswear shop in Teddington, with an excellent range of designs, colours and quality. Always something new and different. I bought a Sand linen jacket, Brax chinos and Geox suede loafers, all very wearable. I’ll be back.
-Chris
.

TCS and Apollo Motors
Apollo Motors- as a completely non- car person. I don’t know how I (or my car) would have survived without the boys at Apollo. Totally reliable and never patronising!
TCS is a wonderful little shop – with fantastic staff. I often pop in just for a chat! Inevitably end up buying something. We are very lucky to have such a gem in our midst. Chain stores begone – wish there were more shops like TCS!
-Nicki
.

TCS
TCS is my favourite boutique in Teddington. The understated yet uniquely different style of the clothes and the sheer pleasure of just going into the shop for the amazing decor does it for me. The style advisors are exactly that, creating a personalised style which suits just me and are so lovely in the process. Loving it x
-Julie
.

Simply Skin UK
I must write to mention Simply Skin on Broad Street – simply superb! Not only did I enjoy a fabulous massage that banished the stress and tension of everyday life, but also picked up a great shaving kit. Great service from friendly, capable and knowledgeable staff in a pleasant environment, right on the doorstep!
-David

Mercado
Always find great, stylish, quirky gift for any occasion and best greeting cards in town in my opinion…all since 2001 so far I remember.
-Robert
.

TCS
TCS: beautiful, unique, quirky, stylish clothes store. I think we’re really lucky to have this on our doorstep, rather than having to schlep into London. The clothes I have bought here are always the ones that people compliment me on and they are also the clothes that I keep and wear year after year after year. It’s the kind of shop that adds to the mix and makes our High Street so special.
-Amanda
.

A G Miller
A.G. Miller – organic butchers in Waldergrave Road. Wonderful meat, chutneys, jams and great personal service. Cooking advice always works. An Aladdins cave for garlic lovers too.
-Nina

Studio 148
My hidden gem is Studio148. I live in Teddington past 10 years and never knew about Studio148 menswear until last week, recommend by one of my friends. I bought a few beautiful shirts by Robert Graham & Henry Arlington for my other half for his birthday present and he is loving it. Very pleased with my them. Beautiful shop with interesting shirts, very unique. Something you can’t find everywhere. Very helpful staff. Also bought few pairs of socks on bargain Fiver Fest for £5.
Will Definitely recommend.
-Claire

Diner’s Delight and Cavan Bakery
Totally love and support your campaign. Here are my hidden gems in Teddington. Diner’s Delight: you have to stop by during the evenings for the Turkish fare. It is extremely fairly priced, always fresh and delicious, and the staff couldn’t be lovelier (we always get a hug when we walk in).
Cavan bakery: I don’t know what my weekends would be like without a fresh loaf (seeded bloomer) from them every Saturday morning – fantastic!
-Emily
.

Charm Thai, The Loft, Teddington Hardware
My hidden gem in Teddington (well, there are two, actually three) are: Charm Thai because the food is always brilliant and the staff are lovely, polite and helpful, and The Loft, which is simply a brilliant place for presents and quirky items for around the home. I also love Teddington Hardware because the staff are always happy to help you find or order something, and don’t mind you (women like me who are clueless) asking stupid questions!
-Fiona
.

Steven’s Tyres
My Hidden Gem is Stevens tyres, I cannot believe we have such a brilliant local Tyre shop in Teddington. Its my Hidden Gem.
Really friendly and professional people. It’s a family run Business, great value, and not the feeling that you are being ripped off, which I always feel in “large” tyre shops as a single woman. Got a fantastic deal and so much cheaper than any tyres I have previously bought. Would definitely recommend.
-Sue

Douetil holistic Therapies
This is a hidden Gem because Bernie massages away your aches and pains with lovely oils on a heated couch. Bernie always gives a warm welcome.
-Carole
.

Synchronicity
Synchronicity Powerplate studio on Church Rd is my hidden gem. I hate gyms and exercising but 2 power plate sessions (25 mins each) a week is easy for me to fit into a busy week. Emma is a great trainer and makes the classes fun and different each time so you never get bored of working out. She will also tailor exercises to suit you, whether you want to focus on cardio, core strength or pilates type exercises. My core strength has greatly improved since I started exercising with Emma a few years ago.

Teddington Cafe
Best sausages in Teddington!
-PC Anthony
.

Vidatherapy
Vidatherapy is definitely a ‘hidden gem’ as the moment you enter the lovely spa waiting room you instantly feel relaxed. I have been having massages (and pregnancy massages) with Anne for 2 and a half years now and am so glad I found it as they are amazing – Anne always makes me feel very welcome, she takes time to listen to how I am feeling and her treatments are total pampering and relaxation!
