SHOPPING
Kings Road
Stretching from Sloane Square deep into Chelsea, King’s Road has long been one of London’s most storied streets. In the 1960s it was the epicentre of Swinging London, lined with boutiques that helped define the era. Today, the mood is calmer, but the mix remains eclectic: heritage brands beside independent shops, interiors showrooms next to fashion labels, cafés woven between galleries and design studios.
It’s a street that invites wandering rather than rushing. Along its length you’ll find shops with a distinctly Chelsea character — polished but never brash, creative yet comfortable. Interiors enthusiasts flock to the showrooms, while fashion hunters drift between international names and quieter local designers. The atmosphere shifts subtly block by block, making the King’s Road less a single destination than a rolling sequence of discoveries.
