The area
Neighborhood: Chelsea
Wealth courses through The King's Road, Chelsea's upmarket artery of West London life packed with shops, eateries and glitzy nightspots. For people-watching at its best and luxury retail therapy that's largely unrivalled, this area cannot be missed. But if this showy street starts to overwhelm or a moment of price tag shock sends you reeling, a quick detour down pretty much any of many King's Road veins will reveal a quieter side of Chelsea. Here the stately Royal Hospital hosts its world-famous flower show, and the Thames rolls along at a lazy pace, with leafy Battersea Park and its Peace Pagoda beckoning from across the river.

Sloane Square is more like a rectangle but don't let that put you off.
There is a theatre here and the tube station is here which is served by the Circle and District lines.
Peter Jones have a store on the corner of the square which is part of the John Lewis Partnership. If you want to walk a little further you can head down to the River Thames which is about 10 - 15 minutes walk away. There are plenty of stores nearby as well as cafes and restaurants.

Myself & 2 friends stayed here in April, the rooms although small were ok for what we needed. The rooms were lovely & clean, all the staff were very helpful. The continental breakfast was very good & the staff in the small Restaurant were attentive & helpful . We would use again. The tube was just across the road so that was a bonus, some nice shops & restaurants were close by.

This square used to be a lovely area to enjoy in the middle of Chelsea. It has now been transformed into a giant pub/terrace, full of people and electric scooters. I cannot believe that a licence has been granted to these businesses to ruin this square and make yet again, another cheap place to drink and eat.

Best time to visit is probably during the chelsea flower show in May, but it's good all year round to visit. There's also a special atmosphere at Christmas. The square is small, clean, safe, with high end stores and cafes, as well as cadogan hall and royal court for entertainment. It has a very charming vibe, and I can't recommend it enough to visit or to live.

We went for a coffee and cake at Partridges, the Danish pastries were very good and the coffee was also of good quality. The service was ok but it seemed a bit disorderly and the young person that served us didn’t seem very well trained. The shop was excellent itself and if we’d had time We could have spent hours looking around as it had such interesting stuff to see. Lots of different food stuffs drinks etc etc etc well worth a visit we would definitely go back there another time.

A small square with a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. It was late afternoon and the lights were already shining and giving the place a magical look. Despite the cool weather, the walk to Slone is worth it. You can take beautiful pictures.

Like most of London, it takes a locals knowledge to be able to expose King’s Road’s little gems.
Upon stepping out of Sloane Square tube station you encounter the Sloane Square, Hotel, Tiffany’s, Royal Court Theatre, Boggi Milano, Hugo Boss and a tree filled Square with the 1951 Royal Academy winning Venus Statue. From Sloane Square to Oakley Street, King’s Road offers a wide variety of award winning boutique luxury fashion and dining establishments to indulge; starting with the department store Peter Jones, to veteran British designer, Vivienne Westwood’s, ‘World’s End’, and trendy high-fashion shoe store Kate Kuba.
Since Henry VIII acquired the manor of Chelsea (1536), it has always been a popular location for the wealthy. But it is a wonderfully diverse community- the local elderly residents from Chelsea Barracks/ Royal Hospital in their regal uniforms, are always up for a chat on the sidewalks of Kings Road. If you are looking to rest on a London ‘green’, you can walk through the Barracks grounds and their extensive gardens (where the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is held each May http://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/chelsea/index.asp)
The Duke of York Square runs parallel to King’s Road and as such, will remove you from King’s Road busy thoroughfare. Lovely restaurants, coffee shop, patisserie, bread store, bookstore, beauticians, and luxury fashion boutique stores all open on to the large sandstone paved courtyard. There is a terrific year round Saturday market encompassing fine specialty food producers. Speaking of fine food markets, the Royal Household’s favorite market Partridges, is at the end of the Square (next to the fashion store Jig Saw in the restored Chapel of the Duke of York’s Barracks). Opposite Partridges the very modern Saatchi Gallery (ironically in the old Duke of York’s Barracks) hosts many sculptural as well as art exhibitions.
http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/saatchi_gallery_index.htm
If you have children, there is a fantastic playground on the grounds of St. Lukes, (corner of Sydney and Cale Street) then you can eat at Tom’s Kitchen, The Builders Arms (http://www.geronimo-inns.co.uk/thebuildersarms/) or get a cheaper pie lunch at Chelsea Green’s/Triangle pub Album (http://www.faucetinn.com/album-testimonial.htm).
King’s Road is the complete modern village for those who like to shop without the crowds and mass retailers of Regent Street.
Where to eat…
Tom’s Kitchen $$$ ph [--] (http://www.tomskitchen.co.uk/). Couple of streets back from the bustle of Kings Road , Tom’s Kitchen is housed in a lovely terrace house- each level offering a different dining and social experience. The ground floor Brasserie serves B,L,D (they have a sumptuous slow roast lamb meal). The second floor is a wonderful, elegantly decorated cocktail bar, also serving dessert and champagne. Finally upstairs offers a private dining room.
Manicomio $$$ ph [--]
http://www.manicomio.co.uk/duke_of_york/index.html
Relaxed Italian dining. On warmer days you can sit outside and enjoy the passing activity.
Where to stay… luxury accommodation (this is the Burrow of Chelsea Knightsbridge after all!)
Sloane Square Hotel
http://www.sloanesquarehotel.co.uk/
The hotel’s ground floor restaurant, Chelsea Brasserie $$$, presents consistently great food (always love the duck) and snappy French servers, hence a popular and noisy environment.

Final note…
After strolling Kings Road, if your shopaholics tendencies have been heightened, and your wallets still full, the row of luxury global brands walk up Sloane Street to Knightsbridge and Harrods should more than satisfy your addiction (@ 15 minute walk from Sloane Square to Knightsbridge).

For me forget oxford street.....regents street maybe even new Bond Street . This is the smartest part of London with great shops particularly Peter Jones which is miles better than Harrods and Selfridges and on a par with Harvey Nicks .

The staff here are like old fashioned hustlers. I wanted a pair of trousers. Male. Found them and tried them on. They need shortening so I asked Salesman A to pin them. He said the alteration was free. I told him I was in a hurry but he would not pin them until he had tried to sell me 3 jackets which I told him I did not want. He simply disappeared. Salesman B eventually came but announced that shortening would be £15. Then he disappeared to find pins and never returned.
I just gave up.
