I do the website www.cathja.org/ for this very worthwhile charity. They are indeed closing the shop at the end of September - I believe you are right, Anne, not much footfall compared with the previous Isleworth and Brentford High Street locations. The only time I visited it (to take pics for the website) I got a bit lost and ended up climbing up an overgrown spiral staircase from the level below. The Cathja barge in Old Isleworth is still going strong and there will no doubt be plenty of empty shop premises in the hard times that lie ahead.
