The Telephone Exchange

The Telephone Exchange Located at the foot of The iconic Shard, The Telephone Exchange was a modern and lively pub and restaurant that specialized in great craft beer, cocktails, and fresh food. Built in 1915 as a purpose-built Telephone Exchange, the building was transformed into a contemporary bar in 1994. Acquired by Fuller, Smith and Turner, the venue injected excitement into the area with its slick design. The food menu was expertly crafted using exclusive products from Fuller's experienced chefs, offering a relaxed and welcoming dining experience for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Brewing since 1845 beside the Thames in Chiswick, their team perfected the art of beer-making. Over the years, the building traded under various names but always maintained its reputation for outstanding quality, service, and atmosphere. Unfortunately, The Telephone Exchange has permanently closed its doors. Nicci - General Manager.
