The Curtain Exchange

Its easy to get lost looking for the Curtain Exchange-it’s away from the commercial end of Fulham in a small two up and two down type cottage in a side street.
Once in, you are firmly in Sloane Ranger Territory.”Have you brought your measurements?” asks a doughty sales assistant rather severely.
Within the really quite small rooms are luxurious curtains-many of the country house velvet and damask variety with tassle tie-backs-all of them second hand.
It is however not that easy to find what you want unless you have very standard windows and are going for that Chintz look.
I would suggest telephoning ahead to check out what is in the frequently changing stock before setting out for this rather obscure location.
Assistants were friendly and helpful if a bit head matron ish.
Prices seemed reasonable taking into account the heavy cost of having such curtains made, and subsequent wear and tear.
There are a few new accessories also for sale.
