No 197 Chiswick Firestation
197 Chiswick High Rd is on FIRE. Luckily, it’s the emoji flame kinda fire — as the folk who’d help put out the real flames have moved on. A more apt classical element to describe the interiors at this new Chiswick neighbourhood bar would be ice — its crisp space is unflappably cool — but that doesn’t fit with the heritage of its locale, so put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Formerly a home to a brigade of west London firefighters, No 197 Chiswick Fire Station opens its doors today as a fourth feather in the cap of Darwin & Wallace; the indie bar group founded in 2012 by Mel Marriott. Here Mel has worked alongside long-time collaborators Louise Davies of Box9 and Lionel Real de Azúa of Red Deer in the renovation of this old station; filling it up with the work of artisans and makers, and reviving its forgotten courtyard space.

The latest installation on leafy, well-heeled Chiswick High Road is a part of the Darwin & Wallace coterie, which also includes No 11 Pimlico Road, No 32 The Old Town and No1 Duke Street in Richmond. No 197 Chiswick Fire Station is housed in the area’s former red brick fire station.
Inside, the cavernous core has been gutted and whitewashed by two local studios, Box 9 Design and Red Deer, who have cannily filled the space with artworks selected by The Hang Up Gallery, pendant lighting, terracotta tiles by Bert and May, handcrafted oak chairs and Instagrammable giant cacti.
