Situated within one of London’s most prestigious neighborhoods, Sloan Stanley Estate in Chelsea spans more than 250 shops, maisonettes and homes, and is considered one of the city’s best-kept secrets. Dating back to 1717, Sloane Stanley Estate brings together a wide range of design, food, drink and wellness brands.

There’s something for everyone. White Coco is a women’s clothing and accessories store, particularly known for its beautiful cashmere pieces. At Chinti & Parker, you’ll find an array of bold, bright and modern styles loved by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Olivia Wilde and Alexa Chung.

Find women’s shoes and boots made of traditional Spanish craftsmanship at Penelope Chilvers, while Jeroboams showcases a diverse selection of Champagne, wines and spirits.

Good Eats

You won’t need to leave the area to find something tasty. Josephine is a cozy French restaurant serving dishes like beef fillet in peppercorn sauce, Cornish cod with shallot butter beurre blanc, duck in orange sauce with braised endive, and French rabbit with mustard and tarragon sauce. For hearty Italian-American dishes, Alley Cats boasts a range of craft pizzas like Tuna Bonito (tomato sauce, Ortiz Bonito del Norte tuna, aged mozzarella, kalamata olives, red onion and parsley) and Vodka Sauce (creamy tomato sauce, aged mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella).

Other eateries include My Old Dutch, the original London pancake house serving both savory and sweet pancakes like crispy bacon and spinach, The Biscoff, and the Amsterdammer. There’s also Fantômas, a modern European institution incorporating elements of Japanese flavors. Opt for lamb shoulder cavatelli, blue fin tuna carpaccio, pink bream or Kurobuta belly.

Lively Nightlife

Yes, Sloane Stanley Estate buzzes even into the night. Behind the Wardrobe Door lies Callooh Callay Chelsea, a cocktail bar with fun and inventive concoctions. The Lemon & Lychee Iced Tea includes Hendrick’s Gin, Italicus, lemon, lychee, earl grey and Schweppes soda; Apple-Pie-Tini mixes Baked Apple Belvedere vodka with buttery biscuit Regal Rogue vermouth; and Spicy Greens brings together Cazcabel Blanco tequila, mango chutney verdita fortified with El Tequileno tequila and lime. Or make it a Mexican-inspired night with a visit to Azteca, a cantina with a vast collection of tequila and mezcal.
