Guidebook for London
Food Scene
The pizzas are as good as ever, the crispy calamari starter is to die for (that dipping sauce!), the Sunday roasts are extravagant and the salads are named after Rufus's ex girlfriends. Old-fashioned fun, Chelsea-style. And don't forget to try a flaming Sambuca.

The identities of Bluebird and Chelsea are now synonymous, and it's hard to imagine one without the other. Café, restaurant, bar, food store, wine cellar, florist and bakery: is there anything this place doesn't do? It manages to deliver most things to most people most of the time, so much so we're prepared to overlook the odd hiccup - service, for instance, is friendly, but sometimes distracted. It's open from 8am to midnight (1am at weekends), and their weekend brunch set menu is a steal at £22.50 for three courses.

Come for a weekday breakfast of superfood granola and Greek yoghurt, a weekend brunch of pancakes with berries, a great salad or burger for lunch any day or the famous seven-hour confit lamb for dinner of an evening. Tom's is your go-to restaurant with friends or when you're too tired to boil a kettle, let alone an egg. It now has five London branches, including Somerset House, St Katharine Docks, Canary Wharf and at HMS Belfast, but our heart belongs in Chelsea. Call us old-fashioned, or even shallow, but there's something about the Royal Borough.

Lucio Restaurant
257-259 Fulham Rd.Drinks & Nightlife
This is one seriously shiny cocktail bar on the King’s Road, with butterfly prints on the wall and the lights set low. The drinks menu takes south west Londoners on a trip around Italy, with small plates set to match. Some tipples are inspired by Italian poets while others are like poetry, topped with lavender air or finished with petals.

A speakeasy-themed cocktail bar in Sloane Avenue that's hidden behind an inconspicuous black door. Inside, the venue is decorated like a quirky living room, with trinkets scattered around. Bar staff are dressed to suit the 1920s theme. So if you fancy being transported away from Chelsea as you know it, make this your go-to.

Fancy breaking away from the civilised set? Tucked away at the ‘wrong end’ of Chelsea is this intimate jazz club, a badly kept secret hosting live music seven nights a week. So if it’s tipples with tunes you’re after, make 606 your late-night escape.
