Key Places To Visit in The Chelsea Area

I have been spending quite a few days exploring London for the past couple of years and during my travels I have some favourite places to visit. One area of London I have come to love is Chelsea. I originally delved into Chelsea when I went to London Fashion Weekend with Canon a few years back, but then I got drawn to the area by visiting the instagrammable Peggy Porschen Bakery. I went for a day of pure exploration of Chelsea when Chelsea in Bloom was on a few weeks ago and I thought I would show you my highlights.



My favourite place has to be Peggy Porschen, both the interior and exterior is beautiful and perfect for getting those cute Instagram pictures. The cakes are also super delicious but I always feel guilty eating them because they're so pretty. The shops on the same street as Peggy are also gorgeous one off businesses and shops like Jo Loves.



My next stop is just over the road from Peggy Porschen which is Dominique Ansel Bakery. Offering both sweet and savoury dishes based from French techniques the creativity behind some of the dishes is amazing. I went for a Blossoming Hot Chocolate which is hot chocolate which is topped with a marshmallow flower encased by a thin layer of white chocolate which once placed unfolds to reveal the flower floating on top with a little chocolate truffle in the centre. They are world renowned for their Cronuts, Frozen S'mores and Cookie Shots. If your wanting an fantastic bakery experience I would recommend a visit here. They also offer Afternoon Tea which is super innovative and I want to try next time I'm down!



If you are more of a shopaholic its the perfect area to go with both big brands and small one off boutiques. My go to department store is Peter Jones because its the perfect place for customer service for outfits or gifting and they have so many brands and exclusives its a good all round base for shopping. Last time I went they had a Clifton Nurseries pop up selling super cute little succulents and plants and a Tanqueraygin pop up showcasing G&T's.



I also like visiting the boutiques for the big brands such as Kate Spade, Nars, Liz Earle, Zara, Monica Vinader, Club Monico and Tiffany & Co. The stores are so beautiful and feel special in Chelsea because they're so pristine and lavish.

Just round the corner from the Kate Spade store there is a road called Pavillion Road which was full of individual businesses from butchers, coffee shops and florist it was nice to explore niche shops in the centre of London. The Roasting Party, Bread Ahead and Provience Village Butchers looks super good when we wandered the street. There were also so many beautiful florists on so many of the streets I wanted to go to all of them!







These are just a few of my favourite places to go to in the Chelsea area, let me know if you have any recommendations of where to go next!
