Castelnau is one of Barnes’s main arteries, connecting the village to Hammersmith and running close to the Thames Path — a road that sees a steady flow of residents going about their daily routines. Barnes has a long tradition of supporting independent, owner-run businesses, and a weekly farmers’ market reflects the community’s appetite for quality, provenance-led food.
