    Spot on! Ok, perhaps it had something to do with Hil St Soul performing at this great…read morelocation...but also as we walked up other than hearing great music I had no expectations. Then came really stellar wine...then brilliant food...the amazing dessert and coffee. So paired with incredible service and entertainment, this may have been the most perfectly outstanding night spent with two enormously wonderful friends. Well done.

    This is the first time I have ever been here, didn't even know it existed!! The actual entrance is…read morearound the back not on the high street, this means that parking can be problematic, If you are lucky you will find somewhere on the side roads which have no yellow lines. There is a car park next to the venue, however it belongs to the offices near by so park there at your own risk. It strikes me as a good venue for artists and audiences alike. The artists can perform in an environment which allows for a certain amount of intimacy. There is a bar area which has seats, so if you prefer to be near the bar and watch the show you can, however there is a glass screen between the bar area and the main floor so what you would hear I don't know. The food they serve is to cater for a wide range of tastes, fish & chips, jerk chicken (which if you are like me needs some proper spice to it) and some salads. The portion size was good and i did not feel the need for desert, although nothing took my fancy!! They had the usual variety of wines, beers, sprits along with some cocktails. The time it took to get served was ok no long waits and it was packed. Its always nice to not have to go to the bar to order your drinks so the table service was very much appreciated!! We witnessed Michelle John, who I had not seen on the Voice and she most certainly can sing!!

    Holy Crinity - Holy Trinity, Sloane Square: Nave, general view

    Located just off busy Sloane Square, Holy Trinity is one of the Churches most closely associated…read morewith the Arts & Crafts movement in the UK, and is a stunning monument to late 19th century decorative art. Inspired by people like John Ruskin and William Morris, the movement triumphed hand-made craftsmanship in an age of emerging mass-production. Alongside aesthetic considerations was the belief that such skills were the hallmark of human creativity and endeavour, and the desire to provide work for artisans displaced by industrialisation. Their message was to make everyday objects beautiful, and to revere nature through crafts, painting and architecture. The church was built for the 5th Earl Cadogan by the architect John Sedding, and decorated and furnished by the likes of William Morris, Edward Brunes-Jones and Henry Wilson. The handsome west frontage is in orange-red brick with banded stone decoration, with a huge perpendicular window. The interior plan is straightforward: a wide nave (wider than St Paul's Cathedral) and spacious north aisle, and a smaller south aisle. These lead to a short chancel and sanctuary, which sits beneath an enormous East Window. But it is the rich fittings and furnishings which catch the eye. No expense was spared: there is an abundance of marble, porphyry, alabaster, bronze and gilt. As well as astonishing stained glass - the East Window is William Morris's largest - every item, from the light fittings to the screens and railings - is elaborately conceived and executed. A visit is a must if you are in the area - and a welcome distraction from the retail temptations close by. The church also has a very active worship and music programme - see website for details. At Christmas, it is also renowned for selling one of the best selections of charity Christmas Cards in London.

    Lets explain how a Chelsea Farmers Market looks like... No - you will not find fresh vegetables…read moreand stalls there. Instead the market is formed by different businesses arranged next to each other in a square. If you need to know which restaurant I recommend, I always opt for the Spanish place - where you can eat a proper steak, half a chicken with fries or a big spanish sausage. On a very hot Sunday afternoon we ordered sangria to cool down. There are two other places I visit. The organic food shop, which has a very deep selection, especially if you look for a special marmalade. In a white wooden hut you will find a book shop which has a wide selection of manly art, design, architecture and fashion. Here and then I find an interesting book - there is nothing as good as flicking through newly printed books. This place is ideal to just love and live on a Sunday afternoon. If there is one place I recommend to visit in summer in Chelsea it is this one. I suggest you go there with a group of friends and just chill out. Also, I discovered lots of Greek and Spanish people hang out around there -hot.

    I didn't notice this place for ages even though I passed the entrance twice a day on the way to and…read morefrom work. It's something to do with the low, chalet-style buildings which house the shops, businesses and restaurants - they're just so un-flashy, un-Chelsea. So in the end I was brought here because someone recommended the alterations place to me I think it's called Leo's. It's run by an old Italian guy, the service is good and he is a big character. Expect to wait in a queue, listening to stories of his grandchildren. Upon exploration, the other shops in here are also great. I found a rare bound copy of The Book of Tea in the bookshop. I have been looking for one for years, randomly asking places. This is definitely the sign of a good bookshop. The organic / wholefoods shop is also good, as is the tobacconists and, although all I had was a takeaway sandwich from the restaurant, its was yummy. I like and miss Chelsea Farmer's Market, despite the severe lack of real farmers.
