Chiswick - T Adamou and Sons

Just around the corner from Andreas Georghiou & Co is T Adamou and Sons.
Outside the shop there's fruit and vegetables, with items like Cyprus chard.
The T in T Adamou and Sons stands for Theodosios, who came from Cyprus and opened this shop in 1959.
The shop specialises in Cypriot, Greek and Middle Eastern specialities.
As you would expect, there's Greek Cypriot specialities like olives and olive oil, wine and traditional pastries like baklava.

Theodosios's son now runs the business, he's a friendly and helpful person. The shop is featured in The Essential Guide to London's Best Food Shops, a book I've found invaluable. There's a picture here of a customer looking at the entry describing this shop, whilst the owner phones his cousin to find out what an eponymous shop is (no I didn't know either).
