Where to eat, drink and stay in Chelsea: the King's Road and its smart surrounds, chosen on merit.
Chelsea wears its money quietly. Between the King's Road and the river sits a neighbourhood of garden squares, smart townhouses and the kind of restaurants, bars and hotels that have been setting the standard for decades. It is polished, well-bred and quietly confident, and it rewards those who know where to look.
Our Chelsea guides cover the best of it, from the dining rooms and cocktail bars to the characterful townhouse hotels. Chosen on merit, for a smart lunch, an easy evening or somewhere to stay in style.
