What to do and see in Chelsea in London

  • Kings Road: This street is the huge shopping street that stretches right through Chelsea. Here you will find plenty of independent stores, mostly beautifully decorated as well as well.known shops. It is great to just walk along, but it is even better if you take the time to pop into a few of the nice places.
  • Saatchi Gallery: This is one additional thing located along KIng's Road. It is an art museum, that is free to enter. However, already the outside of the building is stunning to look at due to its modern architectural items.
  • Peggy Porschen: This is a cafe, well-known for its remarkable pink store front. In here you can get some of the most wonderful and delicious cakes around the city. It is incredible!
  • Chelsea Embankment: Chelsea lies right north of the river Thames. As such there is a part of the riverside in Chelsea, which includes some beautifully landscaped green space to relax and watch the boates pass by on the water.
  • Albert Bridge: This is a very old, relatively small bridge connecting Chelsea with the south side of the river. The quarter located there is Battersea, which also has a huge park even including a litle zoo. The way to get there is Albert bridge with its unique design and pretty low weight limit. So, not only the way to get to the other side of the river, but also the actual southern side is very stunning and worth a visit.
  • National Army Museum: As the name already says, this is a museum about the story of the National Army. It is a great place to learn about the oast of Great Britain and free to enter. Great for a rainy day in Chelsea!
  • Royal Hospital Museum: Another museum around here! THis might actually show the importance of Chelsea for London. It is also free to visit, and of course it is about the Royal Hospital where it is also located.
  • Brick stone houses: The majority of the houses in Chelsea is bild from this typical, red toned stone. It is what most people see as traditionally British. It is beautiful to wander through the streets and look at the beautifully decorated homes all raound. Best way to see all this is to simply get lost in the alleys and lanes! So, take your time eyploring.
