About Chelsea
In the 1960s, Chelsea's Kings Road was the stomping ground for the hippest young things in town. Nowadays, the area is more conservative in its reputation - you'll share the immaculate pavements with affluent business people from around the world and plenty of blow-dried ladies of leisure.

SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP ON THE KING'S ROAD
A heaven for fashionistas since the Swinging Sixties, you will find everything from world domination brands to bespoke ateliers and everything in between.
Discover the history at Carlyle's House
Lived in by the writer, historian and essayist Thomas Carlyle and his wife Jane. Opened to the public in 1896, it was London's first literary 'shrine'.
EVENING WALK ACROSS ALBERT BRIDGE
One minute walk from the flat is Albert Bridge, connecting Chelsea to Battersea. It is one of West London's most striking landmarks, illuminated by 4,000 lightbulbs at night.
Have Brunch at the Ivy Chelsea Garden
Step inside this spacious and beautiful orangery, full of greenery, hanging plants and wonderful mosaic flooring.
Have a Pint at The Chelsea Ram
A cosy pub with a countryside village vibe. And when the sun's out, they have benches out the front to do some people watching on the King's Road.
Wine and Dine at The Cross Keys
This charming gastropub is the ideal spot for lazy afternoons. Serving up a delicious selection of drinks, they're food is equally as inviting. Be sure to try the scotch eggs.
Try the Bloody Marys AT The Chelsea Pensioner
Surprisingly, the speciality here isn’t beer, it’s ‘Sharey Marys’: big jugs of the bloody stuff mixed however you like.
Fill up with surf and turf at Big Easy
One of the original proper diners of the area, if you're feeling like you need a boost of protein, this is your place. This is where the UK's BBQ & Lobster fad started, and they're doing it right.
Go Fine Dining at Medlar
This is no ordinary restaurant. It is a Michelin Star establishment minutes away from you. Modern French in a relaxed layout.
Go to Bunga Bunga for Pizza
The Englishman’s Italian. This is a kitsch bar paying homage to the playful side of Italy, with party-animal PM Silvio Berlusconi as the poster boy. A riot at weekends.
LET MAMMA MIA COOK FOR YOU AT LA FAMIGLIA
Seek out this local favourite Italian restaurant for some home-cooked food just like mamma (or even better, grandma!) use to make it. All the classics from Tuscany but just down the Kings Road.
