Chelsea London
Share
There is a lot of charm to be found in Chelsea, from Bromoton Rd to Kings Rd and all the bits in between.
Starting from the top:
- The V&A - One of my favourite museums in London. Don't miss the Cast Courts and the Raphael Cartoons.
- Aux Merveilleux de Fred - Get two chocolate brioche's, one for now, and one for later, and a box of Merveilleux cakes.
- Maitre Choux - Pick your fancy of beautiful eclairs and chox.
- Harrods - I get lost every single time I go, we can never find the Egyptian escalators, and the food hall can get a bit mad, but it a beautiful building with a veritable variety of treasures.
- Bread Ahead - Pavilion Road is full of delicious restaurants and charming shops. Pop into Bread Ahead for a loaf of their amazing sour dough and a few doughnuts just for good measure.
- Moyses Stevens - Treat yourself to beautiful flowers at this royal warrant holding florist.
- Saatchi Gallery - An amazing contemporary art gallery with ever changing exhibits. Do yourself a favour and go if you haven't been.
- Royal Chelsea Hospital - You can tour this hospital year round, but once a year it is transformed for the Chelsea Flower Show. Something to be experienced at least once in life.
- Manolo Blanhik - Visit the first Manolo shop and day dream about where you would wear the fabulous shoes.
- Chelsea Physic Garden - This garden started as an apothecaries garden in 1673, growing plants for healing and medicine and the tradition lives one with medical plants still being grown there.
- Anthropologie - If you are looking for eclectic and fun home goods and clothing this is the store for you. Marvel at the beautiful building that houses it as well.
- The Ivy - Seasonally decorated outside and good food inside. The Ivy Chelseas Garden is the perfect place to go to dinner with friends.
- Peggy Porschen - The second cafe of the darling and delicious cake shop offers a full range of breakfast and lunch as well as treats.
- Bywater Street - There are many colourful streets in Chelsea, but this is one of my favourites.
