Key streets in Chelsea

Kings Road is Chelsea’s main shopping street, running from Sloane Square, at the eastern side of Chelsea, all the way into Fulham, where it leads into New Kings Road. Its name derives from its original use; as a private road for King Charles II, leading to St James’ Palace. In the 60s, it was a centre for alternative culture but today it’s filled with luxury shops and boutiques, as well as popular pubs and restaurants. There is a weekly farmers’ market on a Saturday, bringing together a fantastic range of gastronomic delights from all over the world - a great place to refuel after a morning’s shopping, or a visit to the Saatchi Gallery.

Sloane Square is an attractive and prestigious square situated at the eastern end of Kings Road and the southern end of Sloane Street. Its leafy centre has a Grade II listed fountain as its centre piece, while luxury shops, popular bars and restaurants occupy the ground floors of the stunning buildings which line the square. Sloane Square is also home to the very well-known and successful department store, Peter Jones, and the only tube station in Chelsea.
